Bountiful Baskets
It’s that time of year again for one of our biggest community volunteer events! The Ann Arbor Jaycees are once again thrilled to host this Holiday Food Drive by partnering with local organizations and hard-working volunteers in order to ensure families in need can have tasty and nutritious meals this holiday season.
Every year, our chapter is hard at work to ensure we can donate 100+ boxes or “baskets” to local families across the greater Washtenaw County area.
Each basket includes a turkey, fresh fruit and veggies, canned goods, and all the ingredients needed for traditional holiday side dishes .
This year, we are proud to announce our collaboration with Grace Fellowship Church as well as the Free Indeed Foundation.
Events such as this one cannot be possible without our community partnerships and sponsors. If you are interested in learning more about our partnership options, head to our Donations section.

Partner With Us
As a nonprofit organization run by volunteers, partnerships are truly key in providing the opportunity to coordinate events within the community. For over two decades, Bountiful Baskets has provided complete Thanksgiving dinners to local families in need across Washtenaw County. Each basket includes a turkey, fresh produce, and all the traditional side dishes needed to share a warm, hearty meal together. This year, as many families continue to face growing challenges, our goal is to reach more neighbors than ever before and expand our offerings of fresh fruits and vegetables.
In proud partnership with The Free Indeed Foundation, we were able to support over 100 families last year thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you. Your financial contribution provides far more than a holiday meal—it helps strengthen our community bonds, brings neighbors together, and offers hope when it is needed most.
A contribution of $50 sponsors a full Thanksgiving dinner for a local family, though a gift of any amount makes a meaningful impact. To help us prepare, we kindly ask for contributions by Friday, November 20th, 2026. Basket distribution will take place on Sunday, November 22nd, 2026. We are deeply grateful for your support and welcome any questions or comments you may have.
Best Wishes for a Bountiful Holiday Season!
