VISTE's 30th Annual Thanksgiving
Meal Delivery
Wednesday, November 25, 2026
Join us as we celebrate this special milestone, the 30th Annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery! This beloved, family-friendly tradition is a meaningful way to give back and brighten the holiday season for seniors in need. We invite you to save the date and be part of this special year as we continue a meaningful tradition of service.
Ways to Get Involved
There are many opportunities for individuals, families, and community groups to participate in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.
- Green Bean Snap: Family and children are invited to join this fun, hands-on activity preparing fresh green beans for the holiday meal.
- Operation Cranberry: Support our efforts by donating 14-ounce cans of jellied cranberry sauce.
- Decorating with Heart: Local students lend their creativity by decorating meal bags and placemats, adding a personal, heartfelt touch that brightens each senior’s holiday.
Every contribution, big or small, helps make this day truly special.
What Happens on Meal Delivery Day
On the morning the day before Thanksgiving, volunteers gather at the RP Funding Center to pack meals.
That afternoon, volunteer drivers utilize convenient drive-through lanes to pick up meals, poinsettias, and treats for delivery to grateful VISTE clients.
A Tradition Made Possible by You
Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, donors, and partners, last year’s 29th Annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery was a tremendous success, bringing joy and comfort to seniors throughout our community.
This cherished tradition continues because of people like you. We truly could not do it without your support.

Dear VISTE family,
I want to thank you for my delicious turkey dinner! And I was so happy to see the pumpkin pie! The poinsettias are on my front porch and look so pretty. I also want to thank Allen & Company, the title sponsor. How very generous! I enjoyed their stories regarding Thanksgiving.
