Fixings: Gravy, canned vegetables (french-style green beans, yams, corn), cranberry sauce, cream of mushroom soup, crispy fried onions, instant potatoes, corn bread (boxed), & stuffing. Please drop off non-perishables by 11/13.
Families or individuals having difficulties are encouraged to call the Durham Human Services office to sign up for a Thanksgiving Basket no later than November 6th.
