Community Food Drives

Holiday Harvest Food Drives are our way of bringing the community together to support families in need during Thanksgiving and Christmas. We organize campus-wide and local food collection events to gather non-perishable items, festive treats, and essential ingredients for holiday meals. Every donation helps us create holiday baskets that are distributed to families facing food insecurity, ensuring that they can celebrate the season with a full table and a full heart. Join us in making a difference by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word—together, we can bring hope and nourishment to those who need it most.

Sponsor-a-Family Program

This holiday season, you can make a direct impact on a family in need by participating in our Sponsor-a-Family Program. Through this initiative, individuals, businesses, or groups can "adopt" a family and provide them with a complete holiday meal, including all the ingredients for a festive feast, as well as grocery gift cards or small gifts for children. By sponsoring a family, you’re not just giving food—you’re giving hope, joy, and the chance for them to celebrate together without financial stress. Help us make this season a little brighter for everyone by joining our Sponsor-a-Family Program.

Holiday Card Writing

Spread cheer and warmth this season by participating in our Holiday Card Writing program! We invite students, community members, and local schools to create handmade holiday cards filled with messages of hope and kindness. These cards will be included in the food baskets we deliver to families in need, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to their holiday season. A simple card can go a long way in making someone feel remembered and valued. Join us in sharing joy, one card at a time!

Holiday Harvest is a student-led charity at the University of Georgia dedicated to supporting families in need during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our mission is to bring warmth and joy to the holiday season by providing food baskets filled with essentials and festive treats to those who may not otherwise afford them. Through the generosity of our community, we aim to ensure that every family can gather around the table and share in the spirit of gratitude and giving. Together, we’re making the holidays brighter, one meal at a time.
