For 30 years, volunteers and sponsors have come together to ensure that families caring for a child with special healthcare needs at Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center (CDTC) can depend on a festive Thanksgiving meal to brighten the holiday.

The annual Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center Thanksgiving Basket Brigade is set for Sunday, November 20 beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers from the community and local businesses will pick up their Thanksgiving baskets, complete with a frozen turkey and all the traditional fixings, to personally deliver the special meals to CDTC families throughout Broward County.

Each year, hundreds of dedicated volunteers form a brigade of cars and pop their trunks to pick up their Thanksgiving baskets curbside at CDTC’s parking garage, located at 1401 South Federal Highway, for contactless delivery to families in need.

Those interested in supporting the Thanksgiving Basket Brigade through volunteer meal delivery or donations are invited to visit childrensdiagnostic.com/basket-brigade. Donations as of $30 will feed a family of four a festive Thanksgiving meal. Donations above the budget will support the CDTC medical and dental clinics, case management and emergency services for children and families with special needs.
