Because every family deserves the Thanksgiving tradition. It’s more than a meal.

For 35 years, the Center for Family Resources (CFR) has been providing families in Cobb County with food for Thanksgiving~ they believe that Thanks for Giving is more than a meal. It is an opportunity for families to create and continue family traditions, to gather with loved ones and to give thanks in a way meaningful to them.

CFR’s goal is 1,000 Thanks for Giving food boxes for 1,000 families. Marietta City Schools has always participated in this effort and while this year might look different we know we can still help make this happen.

How can you help?

If your MCAA child has a sibling at MSGA, we are happy to have them walk back and forth from our carline. To make it as safe as possible, we will require them to walk in a group. If you are interested in your MSGA child participating in this, please contact Sara Evans at:

Sara and I will work out the details this week and let everyone know the plan!
