Thanksgiving Matchup
Local bakeries are teaming up with families in Albuquerque to provide delicious desserts for Thanksgiving
Who We Are
We are a group of bakers who recognize holidays may not be a happy time for everyone. Our goal is to use dessert as a way to bring people together despite the hardships our community is facing.
​
We started this initiative in 2022 for families experiencing financial difficulties. However, the Thanksgiving Match-up mission has grown to support any situation that makes it difficult to have a full Thanksgiving meal. We are not requiring proof of any hardship to get on the waitlist.
