109. ‘Thanksgiving Heroes’ and Bringing Thanksgiving Dinner to Families Facing Food Insecurity (with Founder, Rob Adams)
As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in meal prep and family plans—but this episode will inspire you to think about gratitude in action.
I sit down with Rob Adams, Founder of 'Thanksgiving Heroes', a nonprofit that rallies over a thousand volunteers and hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations each year to deliver full Thanksgiving meals to more than 3,500 families facing food insecurity.
Rob shares the moving childhood story that inspired his mission, how a promise to his mother changed his life forever, and the miracles that continue to happen each year as strangers come together to feed their communities. You’ll also hear what it really takes to organize an effort of this scale—and how you can be part of it.
If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to give back this Thanksgiving—or a reminder that goodness and generosity are alive and well—this episode will fill your heart and renew your hope.
🎧 Listen now and find out how you can support Thanksgiving Heroes in bringing meals, hope, and connection to families this holiday season.
