AboutFor more than 30 years, Thanksgiving Baskets Downtown has united faith communities and civic organizations in Canton, Ohio, in an all-volunteer effort to provide families with food at Thanksgiving. Thanks to hundreds of volunteers and contributions, our 501(c)(3) has been able to serve 1,200 families each year, and especially in this time of COVID, that’s our goal for 2021.
