ABOUT

Basket Brigade
2018 marks the 14th year for the annual Chappell Karate Basket Brigade, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide food baskets to needy families in our area.
This is an absolutely amazing community event and the Brigade needs your help! The Brigade is accepting donations from individuals as well as businesses anytime throughout the year, but particularly during these next few months because of the urgent need that is currently in our community.
The Brigade's definition of a 'needy' family is a family who has lost a family member, either by death or divorce; a family who has lost their home, either due to fire, tornado, etc.; a family who has children; the elderly, especially widows; or a family who has lost their income.
For the first eight years, complete dinners (turkeys, vegetables, rolls, pies, roasting pans, soft drinks, Christmas cards, and most importantly, Bibles) were packaged and delivered by volunteers (including children, which provided them with a firsthand giving experience), just in time for Christmas, so families could have a fantastic family Christmas dinner, however, due to an ever-increasing need, beginning in 2013, food baskets were delivered throughout the entire year.
