Annual Thanksgiving Giveback

11/2/2026 to 11/13/2026

It’s Time for Our Annual Thanksgiving Give Back!

Each year, we partner with Calvary Chapel Melbourne to bless families in our community. Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to pause and reflect on God’s faithfulness, provision, and blessings. Because God has been so generous to us, we want to extend that same generosity to others.

Our Goal

This year, our goal is to provide a full Thanksgiving dinner for 2,400 people in our community by assembling and delivering 600 meal kits.

Each meal kit will also include a Gospel Tract, Bible App Card, and an invitation to church. Ministry leaders will personally deliver these meals to families, helping us meet both physical and spiritual needs within our community.

How CCA Is Participating

Our National Honor Society students will be leading the Thanksgiving Give Back initiative on the CCA campus.
