Get started
Fayette County residents can self-refer or have an agency refer on their behalf.
Fayette County referral line:
859-402-0050
The referral line for Fayette County residents is open September 2nd - 30th, Monday - Friday 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Outside of Fayette County, residents will be contacted if they qualify for a box.
Sharing Thanksgiving distributions are held throughout the week before the Thanksgiving holiday. Our process includes processing referrals, sourcing meal products, and engaging volunteers to pack and distribute boxes to individuals and seniors.
Each participating family receives a turkey, butter, eggs, onions, and potatoes — everything they need for a traditional meal that feeds 6-8 people. They also receive a box of ingredients that includes other essential items to enjoy a traditional holiday meal with family and friends.
Ingredients included are corn muffin mix, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, peach slices, fudge brownie mix, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and chicken gravy mix packet.
The success of Sharing Thanksgiving would not be possible without the generosity and support of our dedicated sponsors, partners, and volunteers. We are thankful for your unwavering commitment to making a meaningful impact through your active involvement in this program.
Thank you to our sponsors!
