Help Make the Holidays Brighter

Summer has passed, fall is in the air, and QQLA is now accepting donations for the 2026 Holiday Gift Card Food Drive.

Grocery store gift cards are especially helpful because they allow food pantries and schools to support each recipient’s needs without storing or distributing frozen turkeys.
Gift cards of $20 to $50 are preferred and cards from local stores:

Sixteen Years of Community Support

This is our 16th year helping local agencies provide gift cards and turkeys to people in need during the holiday season.

We are pleased to partner again with Willow Brook Academy and the Friends of Brookfield. Last year, this collaboration collected and distributed more than $6,000 to local agencies serving our neighbors. With everyday expenses and food costs continuing to rise, we anticipate an even greater need this year.

All donations are forwarded to local agencies that support people in need. In the past, we have supported:

·       Brookfield Food Pantry
·       Brookfield Council on Ageing
·       Brookfield Elementary School
·       East Brookfield Food Pantry
·       East Brookfield Senior Center
·       Sturbridge Senior Center
·       West Brookfield Senior Center
·       Burgess Elementary School in Sturbridge
·       St. Vincent de Paul in Sturbridge.

Frozen Food Storage and Delivery

If you would like to donate a frozen turkey, turkey pie, or turkey breast, I have freezer space for approximately 12 large turkeys at a time. Donations are distributed and delivered frequently to participating agencies through the holiday.
