Denver Rescue Mission is proud to partner with the Denver Metro community to provide Thanksgiving meals to families in need. Boxes are distributed at Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, every year before Thanksgiving. Registration is required for receiving a box before 12:00 p.m. Please see below for full program details.
Each box provides Thanksgiving meal fixings for a family of 8-10 along with a frozen turkey.
*Boxes are limited. Registration will close when the maximum number of registrations is reached.
Thanksgiving Banquet-in-a-Box would not be possible without all those who support Denver Rescue Mission’s annual Turkey Drive. Learn More
