Thanksgiving Food Drive. Everyone Deserves a Pile of Mashed Potatoes.

Someone’s Gotta Bring the Green Bean Casserole.

Join UPBrand + The Love Mission to make Thanksgiving possible for families in St. Louis.

Most of us dread Thanksgiving for the awkward questions about our relationship status and the fact that our pants won’t fit for a week afterward. But too many families in St. Louis dread it because they simply can’t fit it in their budget.

For the second year, UPBrand is partnering with The Love Mission to change that. We’re collecting curated meal boxes that give a local family a real Thanksgiving – dressing and all. Our goal is to feed 30 families. We’d love your help getting there.

How it works:

  • Join solo or rope in your team, neighbors, book club, whoever.
  • Pick one of two pre-made shopping lists and start gathering items.
  • Drop your completed box at our office by November 18, 2026 (200 N. Broadway #1510, St. Louis, MO 63102) – or DM us and we’ll come to you.
  • We deliver everything to The Love Mission, who gets the meals where they need to go.

Can’t Fill a Whole Box?

Partial donations are just as welcome. Five dollars covers a dessert. Fifty fills a small box. Every item you bring gets a family one step closer to a celebratory meal.

Monetary donations go directly to The Love Mission – just add “UPBrand Thanksgiving” in the comment field so we can track our collective impact.
