29th Annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade at Azad's Martial Arts Center

Azad's Martial Arts Center is holding its 29th annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade on Tuesday, November 24th, 2020. This event will help 200 local families with a gift basket of a complete Thanksgiving dinner. Each dinner basket provides a meal for up to 15 people in the family.

Each year Grandmaster Azad and his team of students help raise funds to purchase all that is needed for a great holiday meal — turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and more — for over 200 local families. This program has so far assisted over 35,000 people in the Chico and Butte County area.

How You Can Be Part of This Chico Tradition

Make a financial donation. Only $40 will provide a complete Thanksgiving meal for a family of up to 15.

Help us identify local families in need. We need this information by November 10th. To qualify, a family must:

• Live locally
• Have school-age kids
• Be a first-time recipient — this is a one-time gift basket only
• Be deserving, meaning financially in need

Volunteer to deliver. You can deliver a dinner or two to a recipient's home on the night of the event. Drivers must sign up by November 10th.
