🦃❤️ THIS THANKSGIVING, LET’S MAKE SURE OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE A PLACE AT THE TABLE!

The holidays are supposed to be a time of family, togetherness, and making memories. But for some families right here in Boone County, putting a Thanksgiving dinner on the table can be a struggle.

This year, our family at Tilford’s is teaming up with Empower Boone Food Pantry to help make Thanksgiving a little brighter for local families.

And we’re asking our community to help us make this something special! ❤️

🥧 WE’RE COLLECTING THANKSGIVING SIDE DISHES!

We’re looking for donations of:
🦃 Stuffing & dressing mix
🥔 Boxed mashed potatoes
🥫 Gravy & cranberry sauce
🌽 Canned vegetables
🍲 Cream of mushroom soup
🧅 French fried onions
🥧 Pie fillings & dessert mixes

📍 DROP OFF AT:
Tilford’s Automotive Repair
6276 Logan Avenue
Belvidere, IL 61008

📅 Now through Monday, November 23rd!

You don’t have to spend a lot to make a difference. An extra box of stuffing, a few cans of vegetables, or a bag of Thanksgiving groceries can help a local family enjoy a holiday meal.

Imagine what we could accomplish if everyone who sees this post donated just ONE item.

We’ve been fortunate to be part of this community for 40 years, and we believe in being there for our neighbors beyond the services we provide every day.

This isn’t about towing or fixing cars. It’s about families helping families.

❤️ Let’s show what Belvidere and Boone County can do when we come together!

Even if you can’t donate, you can still help by sharing this post. The more people we reach, the more families we may be able to help.

From our family at Tilford’s, thank you for helping us give back to the community we call home. 🧡

👇 PLEASE SHARE and help us make this Thanksgiving donation drive a huge success!
