This year marks Emergency Foodshelf Network's (EFN) 5th year of providing free holiday meal baskets during Thanksgiving and the December holidays. For each of the past three years, EFN has partnered with FOX 9 to generate support from the community for Baskets of Hope. FOX 9 has generously helped produce on-air phone banks to collect public donations throughout the holiday seasons. Volunteers from many different organizations helped package baskets and serve over 25,000 Twin Cities Residents.

Each basket feeds a family of up to eight people. A November Basket of Hope includes a turkey, 5 lbs. potatoes, two cans of fruit, two cans of vegetables, frozen dinner rolls, a frozen fruit pie, stuffing mix, gravy, a family pack of chicken and cranberries. In December, a ham or pork substitute is offered instead of the turkey. Families in need were still calling, requesting baskets days after distribution at EFN’s
