Project Matthew starts this Fall

Project Matthew 2026 Kicks Off This Fall

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is excited to begin another year of Project Matthew, our annual Thanksgiving outreach ministry.

For many years, Project Matthew has brought our congregation and community together to provide Thanksgiving meals for local families in need. Through donations of food items, financial gifts, and volunteer support, we are able to share not only a meal, but also the love and hope of Christ during the holiday season.

This year, our goal is to provide 150 Thanksgiving meals to local families. Whether you donate food, contribute toward a turkey, help pack boxes, or volunteer on distribution day, every gift helps us move closer to that goal.

Together, we can make Thanksgiving a little brighter for families in our community and share God's love in a meaningful way.

“I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
— Matthew 25:35 (CEB)
