THE J.O.N.Y. PROJECT, INC. PRESENTS
1st Annual 77 Thanksgiving Dinners
77 Dinners. 77 Acts of Kindness. One Community.
This Thanksgiving, The J.O.N.Y. Project is working to provide 77 complete Thanksgiving dinners to local families who could use a little extra support.
Need a Thanksgiving Dinner?
Families who need assistance will be able to submit a request privately through this page. You will never be asked to post your situation publicly or share your story on social media.
Private Family Request Form
Requests are private and will not be posted publicly. We do not require families to explain or prove their hardship. Because meals and resources are limited, submitting a request does not guarantee assistance, but we will do our very best to help every family who reaches out to us.
Want to Help?
Community members, businesses, and organizations can help through food donations, grocery gift cards, sponsorships, financial support, or volunteer help. Every contribution helps us move one dinner closer to 77.
Why 77?
The number 77 honors Jonathan “Jony” Hunter and the number he wore on the football field. Through our 77 Acts of Kindness, we carry his memory forward by turning love into action for others.
Donate, Volunteer or Partner With Us
Want to help us provide 77 Thanksgiving dinners? Tell us how you would like to participate. You can offer food or other items, volunteer your time, provide financial support, or connect with us as a business or community partner.
Prefer to make a financial gift? Use our dedicated Square donation link below. Donations through this link are designated for the 77 Thanksgiving Dinners initiative.
Donation & Volunteer Deadline: November 13, 2026. To give our team enough time to organize, inventory, and purchase any remaining needs, we ask that food/item donations and volunteer commitments be submitted by November 13. Fresh or perishable donations may be coordinated separately, ideally by November 20. Financial donations will continue to be accepted as we work to complete all 77 dinners.
Journey On. Never Yield.
Distribution details, dates, and additional community partner information will be added here as they are finalized.
