Howell Family Is Running A Thanksgiving Food Drive

HOWELL, NJ — For the fourth year, a Howell family is running a food drive to help fill the Thanksgiving table of local families in need.

They are looking for donations of food, money or gift cards to help put together Thanksgiving baskets.

Donations can be dropped off at 3 Eric Drive and left on the porch.

"Thanksgiving has always been my favorite day of the year since it is about being together with the people most important to me. I wanted to try and help make this possible for other people who may need a little extra support," one of the family members, Mindy Musillo, told Jersey Shore Online.

Here is a list of items needed before Nov. 14: Frozen turkeys, gift cards (for Shoprite, Walmart, Target or Stop and Shop), mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, canned sweet potatoes, cornbread mix, canned green beans, canned corn, jars or cans of gravy, mini marshmallows, brown sugar, pans for turkeys and cake, chicken broth, cranberry sauce, cake mix, browny mix, packaged cookies, frosting, juice, coffee, iced tea mix, thanksgiving napkins, pasta, jars of sauce and canned fruit.

Turkeys can be dropped off on Nov. 19 or 20 and baskets will be delivered on Nov. 20.

Those who wish to sponsor a family can make a donation of $65 for basket items and $25 for the turkey.
