2025 Basket Brigade Volunteer Opportunities

Our vision is to grow our community of volunteers, so that the gift of giving can grow, and support struggling families each year at Thanksgiving with the vision that someday these families can pay it forward.

We will be at Harper College in Palatine for a fantastic 2-day event! All meals will be packed on Saturday, November 22nd and delivered on Sunday, November 23rd beginning at 9am.

Register to pack or deliver – or both! There are several time slots available; pick one (or more!) that fit your schedule. (Click on the link for a description of each position.)

We welcome individuals, teams, families and groups. Young children are encouraged to help because it is never too early to learn that The Secret to Living is Giving!

Enjoy working behind the scenes? We would love to have your help on our committee! Our committee works tirelessly all year long writing and applying for grants, fundraising, securing food donations/purchases, working on various public relations campaigns, social media updates and photography for our events. Contact us at [email protected]; we would love to have you on our team!

Be sure to use the hashtag #DeliveringThanksgiving for all of your social media posts!

Please note that we have limited number of spots, so be sure to put in the correct number of attendees for your group.  If we have an overwhelming response, we will open up a waitlist.
