Thanksgiving 2026

The Middletown Community Thanksgiving Project (MCTP) is a collaboration of local nonprofits, faith communities, volunteers, and Middlesex United Way (serving as fiscal agent) working together so every Middletown family can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal, regardless of financial circumstances. 

How You Can Help Right Now

monetary donations are the most helpful way to support the project at this time. Organizers will use donated funds to purchase turkeys and remaining food items in bulk so every registered family receives a complete holiday meal. Details about collecting food donations will be announced soon.

To make a monetary donation:

Make checks payable to “MCTP” and mail to:

MCTP, c/o Fellowship Church
1002 Saybrook Road
Middletown, CT 06457
