Free Holiday Meal Boxes Available for Families This November

The Great Big Give Back's Boxes of Blessings initiative returns for the 2026 holiday season, offering free ingredients for a home-cooked holiday dinner.

The Great Big Give Back, a community initiative organized by RxMaryJade, is bringing back its annual holiday meal giveaway with a new name, a new location, and an expanded mission.

Previously known as Thanksgiving in a Box, the program is now called Boxes of Blessings and will provide 20 free holiday meal boxes across November and December, helping approximately 200 people enjoy a home-cooked holiday dinner.

In partnership with Plant Base and the Build & Create Lounge in Plainfield, the first 10 boxes will be distributed on Monday, November 23, 2026.

Each box contains ingredients to prepare approximately 10 meals, giving families an opportunity to enjoy the comfort and tradition of a holiday dinner together.
