Our Space Coast Basket Brigade is a fun, family event where volunteers come together to package, decorate, and personally deliver Thanksgiving baskets to families in need in our community.
What started with one family surprise delivering 4-holiday baskets to unsuspecting families has now grown into one of the largest contribution projects in the Space Coast. With over 2000 volunteers (more than 50% of children) joining us in delivering 4783 Thanksgiving Baskets!
This year we have more families in need than ever before and are asking for you, our amazing Space Coast members to join us in ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
Everyone is welcome to join us as we package, decorate, and then YOU personally deliver the Thanksgiving basket to the families in need in our community.
Donate Time
All items are needed for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Simply sign up for the items that you would like to donate and bring with you to the Brigade or can drop off at the Holiday Inn Viera.
Donate Food
Make a monetary donation and we will do the shopping for you. Only $50 dollars feeds a family and every dollar counts.
Help us feed Space Coast families a Thanksgiving meal this holiday!
Donate Today!
A great way to give back and have some fun. You can join us in coordinating a food drive with your children, neighborhood, team, club, organization, or company.
We are happy to provide you with the food drive flyer, neighborhood door hangers, and even email or social media templates to make this as easy as possible for you. You collect the food, send us your food counts, and drop the items before the Brigade and it’s a win-win for everyone.
We are excited to make a difference in our community again this year. We understand that these are uncertain times
and have done our best to create a safe environment for our volunteers and supporters.
This year we will be hosting the event at the Holiday Inn Viera. The event will be a 2-day experience to limit crowds on both Saturday, Nov 20 & Sunday, Nov 21.
We invite our volunteers to join at their comfort level. Face shields and coverings are encouraged, and optional.
We will be offering a drive-thru experience where volunteers may drive up, we will load your cars with pre-packaged Thanksgiving food bags and provide you with the family addresses for your deliveries.
To encourage a faster experience and smaller gathering we will be offering time slots where volunteers can come to package your bags and then make your deliveries.
We are asking that any food drives or food items that are donated to please be dropped off to the Holiday Inn on Thursday, November 18 so that we may update our counts and purchase any additional items needed.
We are asking our volunteers to please do your best to maintain social distancing and contactless delivery when making your deliveries. (We know that some of the families love to hug, so please use your best judgment and be safe).
