Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway
Celebrating community connection by giving back. Distributing Thanksgiving meal kits to support families and spread joy in Dayton, Ohio.
Every November, PACO proudly hosts its annual Thanksgiving meal giveaway in Dayton, Ohio, providing much-needed support to families in the community. This event distributes pre-packaged meal kits, each serving 6–10 people, ensuring over a hundred families can come together and enjoy a festive Thanksgiving meal. Proceeds from the Hispanic Heritage Festival and generous sponsors make this yearly tradition possible.
This initiative reflects PACO’s ongoing mission to foster unity and provide meaningful support to Dayton families. By addressing immediate needs, we create opportunities for connection and gratitude throughout the holiday season.
Through events like this, PACO turns cultural celebration into impactful action, uplifting the community and making a difference year after year.
“This meal meant so much to my family and me. Things have been really hard lately, and I wasn’t sure how we’d manage Thanksgiving this year. When I got the kit from PACO, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I felt the connection with someone who really cared. It’s a relief to enjoy Thanksgiving without the stress of wondering how I’d make it happen. We will be able to cook a full meal and sit together, just like every family hopes to during the holidays. I’m so grateful to everyone who made this possible—it truly brought us joy when we needed it most”.
