SaddlBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) had two teams working on providing Thanksgiving Baskets to local families in 2024. The SaddleBrooke Ranch team delivered 40 baskets to San Manuel High School and had eighteen volunteers assisting with their program. Ranch volunteers included co-chairs Anthony Signorelli and Tim Bowen, and Susan Knight, Ann Hulett, Grechen Annan, Rami Mantoura, Marie Mantoura, Lu Legel, Vic Nordstrom, Jo Ann Leach, Kyle Dudley, Ben Eisenstein, Nancy Eisenstein, Bob Cobb, Cheryl Cobb, Jeff Kaczmarek, Viva Kaczmarek and Dianne Signorelli. The SaddleBrooke Ranch team delivered their baskets on Friday, November 22, 2024.

The SaddleBrooke team provided 63 baskets to Oracle with 37 delivered to Mountain Vista Elementary School and 26 to Horizon Health & Wellness Center. SaddleBrooke volunteers included co-chairs Mark Liefke and Mona Sullivan and Eileen Snearly, Leonard Hamer, David Hill, Peter Lewis and Barry Emmons. The SaddleBrooke team prepared and delivered their baskets on Monday, November 25, 2024.

The volunteers filled laundry baskets with the food items typically needed for a Thanksgiving meal, including apples, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, potatoes, onions, green beans, corn, stuffing, rolls, pumpkin pie, Cool Whip and a large turkey. Laundry baskets are used because they provide a sturdy container that can then become a useful household item. The volunteers then delivered the filled baskets to the three designated locations. In all, SBCO provided a turkey and all the trimmings to a total of 104 families in San Manuel and Oracle.
