Thanksgiving Giveaway
Nov 21, 2026 · a full holiday meal for 50 local families
Healing rarely happens in isolation. Each week, a small group of women gathers to share a meal, open Scripture, and talk honestly about what they’re carrying — guided by a facilitator who has walked through hard seasons too.
We are peer support, not therapy — a supplement to whatever care you already have, and a soft place to land when you need one.
Facilitated by women who understand, grounded in compassionate Christian community.
What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. Always.
Kept intentionally small so every woman is seen, heard, and known by name.
Each week pairs Scripture and prayer with everyday tools you can actually use.
Every November and December, our community turns generosity into something you can hand to a neighbor — a holiday meal, a warm coat, a moment of being cared for. Here is exactly where you can help.
We’re providing a complete Thanksgiving meal — turkey, sides, and dessert — for 50 local families. No application maze, no shame. Just a table set with love by people who care.
Wisconsin winters are unforgiving. We collect new and gently used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves and give them away free — to kids, to elders, to anyone who needs to stay warm. Free coats for the whole family.
You don’t need a big budget or a lot of time. Pick the one that fits your life right now — every single one moves the needle.

After walking through her own season of loss and rebuilding, Lawanda kept meeting women carrying the same weight — quietly, alone, and unsure where to put it. She also noticed how few places let faith and hard feelings sit in the same room.
So she started one. She’s Healing On Purpose, Inc. was founded in Glendale, Wisconsin as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, built on a simple belief: women heal in community, and no one should have to pretend they are fine to belong.
Today that room has grown into a circle, a season of giving, and a community of women in the Milwaukee area who show up for each other — in prayer and in practice.
Faith-based peer support groups that meet weekly, kept small on purpose. Stay as long as you need — healing runs on its own timeline.
A complete holiday meal handed to 50 local families, no questions asked.
New and gently used coats, hats, and gloves given away free before winter bites.
Check-ins, prayer, and a group chat that keeps the circle connected between sessions.
Whether you want a seat in the next Healing Circle, need a hand putting food on the table this Thanksgiving, or have coats to give — send a note and a real person will get back to you.
