Thanksgiving Meals for Whitewater Families in Need
PLEASE READ THIS FULLY!
Many families are feeling the impact of food insecurity, especially with the challenges of today’s economy and the ongoing government shutdown. With possible FoodShare shortages and a potential pause on SNAP benefits this November, Albert’s Dog Lounge and Clyde’s Free Pet Pantry are stepping up to help.
Together, we will be giving away 40 Thanksgiving meal boxes, each one feeding up to 10 people. These boxes are designed to help local families enjoy a warm, hearty holiday meal without additional financial stress.
What’s Included:
Each meal box will include a full Thanksgiving spread:
Whole turkey (approx. 14 lbs.), chicken broth, condensed cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, Hawaiian sweet rolls, miniature marshmallows, cut green beans (x2), 100% pure canned pumpkin, shells and cheese (x2), brown gravy mix (x3), poultry spices and herbs, French fried onions, pie crust, chicken or cornbread stuffing (x2), whipped dairy topping, yellow onions (3 lbs.), baby peeled carrots, celery, cranberries, sweet potatoes (3 lbs.), and russet potatoes (10 lbs.).
Important Details:
Pickup Date: Sunday, November 16, 2025
Location: Albert’s Dog Lounge Rescue Headquarters, N7285 Woodfield Lane, Whitewater, WI
Eligibility: Must live in Whitewater (city or township)
Documentation: A valid driver’s license or state-issued ID and proof of residency (utility bill, lease, rent receipt, etc.) must be shown, either uploaded in advance or at pickup.

Albert’s Dog Lounge reserves the right to amend requirements as needed based on resources and community needs.
How You Can Help:
We need community support to make this possible. Our goal is to raise $1,700 to cover all costs. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Forever Home Real Estate powered by Badger Realty Team and DogMa, we have only $950 left to raise.
If donations exceed our goal, any additional funds will be used to include more nonperishable items in each box or to increase the number of meal boxes we can distribute.
