For the fourth consecutive year, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) will deliver Thanksgiving Baskets to cancer patients and their families in our communities.
Thanks to our presenting sponsor North Easton Savings Bank and charity partner Personal Best Charity, JAF will provide a basket with all the Thanksgiving essentials (including a gift card to purchase their own turkey!). Together, we are providing a little extra help around the holidays and lifting spirits for those on a cancer journey.
In 2024, JAF delivered over 60 baskets to area cancer patients. This year we want to do even more!
HOW YOU CAN HELP
In order to help as many patients as we can, the Foundation welcomes the support of businesses and individual donors who want to have meaningful and local impact. We hope you can purchase a Thanksgiving item through our Amazon wish list, and we will be accepting donations until November 21st, 2025.

Businesses can also participate in our “Build Your Own Basket” initiative, where employees can build their own Thanksgiving baskets with a list of items provided by JAF, and deliver to local patients on November 24th. JAF will provide a list of recipient addresses for this purpose.

“The smile on the patient’s face when they realized who we were and the help we were bringing was heartwarming. He said ‘Wow, I’m not only receiving help with food, but you delivered it right to my door! It feels so good to be remembered. Now my wife and I can enjoy a full Thanksgiving without going over our budget. This really lifted our spirits.” – 2023 Thanksgiving Basket Delivery Volunteer
Thanks directly from the Thanksgiving recipients. There were so many!
- A big thank you from our family to yours. Without your assistance, this would have been an empty table. Happy Thanksgiving!
- Thank you so much. I was painting Christmas ornaments and shocked when I opened the door and Joe was standing there with bags in hand. My husband hasn’t been feeling well after his 12th chemotherapy. He was sleeping and missed the delivery but nearly cried when he saw how generous you all have been. Thank you so much to all of you.
- Hello,
I wanted to send a thank you email for all the delicious food given to us for Thanksgiving! Your generosity is truly appreciated! Happy Holidays!
