Thanksgiving Meal Drive Seeks Support for Henderson Families

A Thanksgiving meal drive at 167 N. Gibson Road is asking Henderson donors to turn one grocery list into a complete holiday meal for a local family of four.

CREDA Southern Nevada’s 2026 Thanksgiving Meal Drive works with Communities in Schools and runs its donation drop-offs November 16–18. The practical next step is to review the organizer’s list before buying or signing up.

At a Glance

• Drop-off: November 16–18, 8 a.m.–3:30 p.m.; no pickups are available.
• Location: Brady Builds, 167 N. Gibson Road, Henderson, NV 89014.
• Donation model: One shopping list is designed to feed a family of four and is estimated at $80, plus a $25 gift card.
• Volunteer note: The November 19 assembly activity is listed for CREDA members who sign up in advance.

The drive is specific about its logistics. Donations are not a general drop-anything-off arrangement: contributors can adopt a family and use the organizer’s shopping list to build a meal package.

What a donation is intended to cover

The stated goal is a complete Thanksgiving meal for a family of four. The event page estimates a list at approximately $80 and asks donors to include a $25 gift card, a useful detail for shoppers who want to budget before committing.

A published estimate is not a fixed checkout total. Food prices and substitutions can change, so donors should use the current list rather than relying on a prior year’s flyer or a social-media repost.

The best route is to adopt a family through the event page, select the number of lists that fits the household or workplace budget, and follow the stated delivery window. The organizer says donors may sign up for more than one family.

Why the Henderson location matters

Brady Builds on North Gibson Road is both the donation drop-off and assembly location. That centralizes the handoff, but it also means donors should plan for the specified daytime hours rather than expecting an evening collection point or a pickup service.

For an office, neighborhood group, or family looking to contribute together, assigning the list, gift card, and delivery job ahead of time can make the donation easier to complete. It also reduces the risk of arriving with items that do not match the needs identified by the organizers.

What volunteers and donors should confirm

The event listing says CREDA members may volunteer to decorate and assemble baskets on November 19, with advance sign-up required. That volunteer session is distinct from the public donation drop-off period, so interested residents should not assume that showing up on assembly day creates an open volunteer slot.

Membership, capacity, and timing rules can change, especially close to a holiday drive. Confirm the current volunteer details directly with the listed contacts before making plans.

A simple donation checklist

1. Open the official meal-drive listing and review the current shopping list.
2. Adopt the number of families that fits the budget.
3. Include the requested gift card amount with the food package.
4. Deliver the donation to Brady Builds during the November 16–18 daytime window.
5. Use the organizer’s contacts for questions about sign-up or assembly volunteering.

The opportunity is straightforward: a planned grocery run can support a Henderson family’s holiday table. Checking the official list and drop-off rules first helps every donation arrive in the form the program can use.

Make a donation plan that matches the program

A donation drive works best when contributors can act on clear instructions. Before shopping, a household can decide whether it will adopt one family, split a list with friends, or contribute through a workplace collection. That planning keeps the food and gift-card pieces together and makes the daytime Henderson delivery window easier to meet.

Because there are no pickups, transportation is part of the commitment. Someone should be assigned to bring the completed package to Brady Builds rather than assuming the person who shops will also be available on a weekday. That small step can prevent a well-intended donation from missing the collection period.

The program’s stated partnership with Communities in Schools gives the drive a defined local service purpose. Readers seeking details beyond the listed meal package should contact the organizer instead of guessing about family selection, dietary substitutions, or distribution logistics.
