2026 Basket Drive: help us deliver 150 Thanksgiving baskets this November
Donate

Neighbors feeding neighbors

15 families fed in 2025. 150 this Thanksgiving.

Last year we hand-delivered complete holiday meals to 15 families across Denver, Colorado and Alaska, built from scratch with no nonprofit status and no funding. In 2026, we are scaling to 150 baskets across Austin and surrounding areas with the systems, partnerships and heart to do it right.

This season

Donations support

  • Complete holiday meal baskets for each family
  • Turkey + cold-chain handling for safe delivery
  • Packing supplies + last-mile delivery logistics
  • Referral coordination with local partners

Our mission

Serving Friends helps families and seniors when the food budget runs short. We pair disciplined logistics with dignity-first service so support is dependable, respectful, and immediate.
