“Our thanksgiving holiday is something incredible we do our giveaway a week prior to thanksgiving so we can provide all the other families for what they would need for a Thanksgiving dinner,” Minnie’s Co-founder Robert Jackson said. “That would be turkey, mash potatoes, beans, mac and cheese, all these different items everything from cranberry sauce anything you can imagine we get together. So all the schools all the that were parting with all the churches all the companies are a big push right now as our thanksgiving food drive. So we’re feeding over 2,500 families probably a total of 7,000 people in those families.”

The organization has many corporate sponsorships and has grown into one of the leading food pantries in Collin County.

“Thanksgiving will be nothing less than incredible and it will be filled with love,” Jackson said. “It will be filled with food and it will be filled with family and that’s what we’re all about and so were grateful to be apart providing that resource and we’re grateful to say from everybody from Liberty to Centennial to all the other schools that helps support us and thank you so much to Liberty for all that you’re doing and definitely appreciate you supporting our cause and helping to feed hungry families.”
