Mustard Seed seeks donations for Thanksgiving meals in Grande Prairie
The charity says a $5.38 donation covers one full meal for shelter guests and clients this holiday weekend.
The Mustard Seed is asking for donations to help fund Thanksgiving meals for people experiencing homelessness and poverty across its seven city locations, including Grande Prairie. The organization will serve Thanksgiving meals to all shelter guests, clients and residents over the holiday weekend.
In 2025, the Mustard Seed provided 965,000 meals across its locations. Those wishing to contribute can donate at theseed.ca/thanksgiving, with every $5.38 covering the cost of a complete meal.
The organization says the holiday gatherings offer connection and a sense of belonging for people who might otherwise feel isolated, and can serve as a first step toward longer-term support. While many Thanksgiving volunteer positions have already been filled, the Mustard Seed notes that ongoing volunteer support is always welcome across all its city locations, with more details available on its website.
