Thrivent Cans Hunger at Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014

Help us make the Thrivent Financial Outagamie County Chapter canned food drive the largest canned food drive of 2014!

"Thrivent Cans Hunger" was developed by our local Thrivent Chapter to help ensure every man, woman and child in the Fox Valley has three decent meals a day. We are bringing it back again for the third year in a row!

Bring your donations (canned goods only – no paper, glass or cardboard packages, please) to the Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade on Tuesday, Nov. 25. Encourage your friends to do the same!

Following the Santa Scamper, at about 6:30 pm, watch for the Thrivent Cans Hunger float as it rolls down College Avenue to start off the parade. Watch for the winning school (in person or in the later telecast by WFRV-TV). This school will have the opportunity to highlight their generosity at the Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade while collecting even more cans from members of the audience.

All donations collected by area schools and the night of the parade will be distributed between local food pantries. For more information on this event, please contact Sue Behnke, President, at bsuebehnke@gmail.com.
