Out Give is our Thanksgiving outreach ministry to the community. We partner with Hillsborough County Public Schools and USF’s Friends of Internationals.

We are collaborating with low-income Schools to serve families in need. This year, instead of delivering food boxes to homes, we will host a Fall Festival at one of the schools. We need volunteers to help us run several jobs to make this a special day for families.

Through our partnership with Friends of Internationals, you can also register to host an international USF student on Thanksgiving Day (November 24).
