Join FAN and the First Congregational Church in Winchester, UCC as we assemble 50 Thanksgiving baskets for the Council of Social Concern!

This long-standing Winchester tradition celebrates the season of giving — and offers a meaningful way for kids to experience the joy of helping others.

Here’s how you can help:

Donate non-perishables by Thursday, Nov. 20: https://tinyurl.com/FAN25donate

Volunteer to assemble baskets on Saturday, Nov. 22 (9–11:30am) at Chidley Hall: https://tinyurl.com/FAN25volunteer

Can’t be there in person? You can still make a difference with a donation via Venmo @FANWinchester or scan the QR code

You don’t have to be a FAN member to participate — everyone’s invited to help make a difference! Let’s make sure every family can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal this year.

Many thanks to our sponsors and contributing businesses who have donated to this event, including Wegmans, Stop & Shop, and Box Save. We are incredibly grateful for your support!

We are the First Congregational Church in Winchester - A Christ-centered nurturing community, growing in faith, serving in love, welcoming all with joy.

For decades, we have celebrated our LGBTQIA+ siblings and their inclusion in all parts of our worship and congregational life. In 2001, we became Open & Affirming through the UCC, meaning we are liturgically and theologically committed to a public covenant of welcome.
