Thanksgiving Food Drive

Collecting Now thru November 13th

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and your help is needed to make sure everyone in the area has a happy holiday! Please consider donating Thanksgiving wish list items from now through Sunday, November 13th for distribution on November 15th.

We are looking to assemble bags complete with everything an individual or family would need to make a full Thanksgiving dinner – from the turkey to dessert.


Save the list and keep it handy, so you can pick up a few needed items any time you shop in the coming month. You can drop off food before or after 11am worship on Sundays or by appointment. Please call the church at (724) 775-6702 to set up an appointment.

Monetary donations are needed and appreciated as well! You can make a gift via cash or check to the church at:
Monaca UMC Food Pantry
813 Indiana Avenue
Monaca, PA 15061

Use the button below to donate online. For more information about online giving at Monaca UMC, please see our giving page.


If you or someone you know lives in Monaca or Center Township and would like to receive a Thanksgiving meal bag on November 15th, please call the church office at (724) 775-6702 and sign up with the following information:

  • Name and phone number of person(s) picking up the bags
  • Would you prefer a turkey breast (great for individuals and couples) or a whole turkey?
  • Would you like to join us for a light lunch when you come to pick up your meal bag?

We look forward to partnering with you to make this a fun and helpful project for the community!
