The Main Project is a community initiative empowering youth with opportunities locally. With a hands-on approach, they are determined to help those in need, especially this Thanksgiving. They aim to provide families with resources and support to help individuals reach their goals.
Currently, the Main Project is planning a food drive. This event is in partnership with the Racine Police Department and Orchestrating Good. Additionally, members of the community are welcome to participate in the donation drive.
The goal of the food drive is to bless families who are in need by providing a Thanksgiving dinner for them. This event is taking place now until Nov. 21. Donations will be delivered on Nov. 23.
Getting involved with this Thanksgiving event is a great way to give back and celebrate the holidays.
