Tumwater HS and Black Hills HS are joining forces with the 4 the Love Foundation for their annual Boxes of Thanks Thanksgiving food drive! Our goal is to help feed local students and families who need a little extra support this holiday season.
If you are unable to make it to the game tomorrow, here is a link to donate easily using Paypal, Venmo or credit/debit card: https://www.paypal.com/donate/guest/confirmation/?token=aeSgzz-0ttT9Jkb24v-oWxdcqOzJ2LQLI9CZ2YM1LUAiKdh8eZFiioSRjHxV-cnd9A7UwMBgy7tzxCJu
DID YOU KNOW?
Last year, Boxes of Thanks helped feed 1,590 people in the Tumwater School District!
This year, we anticipate feeding 1,800 people right here in TSD.
In 2025, 4 the Love Foundation provided Thanksgiving meals to 10,000 Thurston County residents!
This year's goal? 15,000 people throughout Thurston County!
That's a LOT of Thanksgiving dinners, and we want to help make it happen!
HOW CAN YOU HELP AT FRIDAY'S GAME?
Bring some CASH for our Halftime Turkey Trot!
During halftime, kids will be making their way through the stands collecting donations for Boxes of Thanks. Bring a few extra dollars (or more!) to toss into the collection. Every dollar helps put food on a family's table!
Scan & Donate!
We'll have flyers with QR codes available at the game, making it super easy to donate. You can also drop off cash at the donation table near the entrance.
Spread the Word!
Share the mission with friends, family, and local businesses! There are also business sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $5,000 for those who want to make an even bigger impact.
❤️ WANT TO GET INVOLVED BEYOND THE GAME?
Boxes of Thanks also need volunteers! You can email [email protected] to volunteer.
November 21: Unloading, organizing, and packing Thanksgiving food boxes.
November 23: Loading vehicles and delivering meals to families.
This is also a GREAT opportunity for students to earn community service hours! Volunteer information will be available on the flyers.
We all know how special our Tumwater community is. We see firsthand how important it is for our students and families to feel supported, especially around the holidays. This is an awesome opportunity to put our school rivalry aside for a cause that impacts families in BOTH of our schools.
Let's pack the stands, cheer LOUD for our T-Birds, bring a little extra cash, and show what happens when two rival schools come together for their community!
Rivals on the field. United for our families.
💚💛 TWO SCHOOLS. ONE COMMUNITY. 💙❤️
