#AICPGives

This year's annual #AICPGives drive benefiting organizations in each Chapter of the AICP membership provides options for both monetary/virtual donations, as well as in-person food and goods drives. Participating chapters have partnered with local organizations serving their communities. Our membership and friends are encouraged to donate directly to these local organizations and/or participate in local drives via the links below.

#AICPGives was Launched in 2012 in Los Angeles by the AICP West Board, before expanding to other cities and chapters. Below, please find links from each Chapter’s designated recipient, which are accepting direct donations as well as providing wish lists of items that can be purchased on behalf of an organization.

We've put together an Amazon Wish List with toys, children's books, educational games, and other gifts for kids of all ages. There are items at every price point, so anyone who wants to contribute can participate, no matter the budget!

Shop the Wishlist

Here's how the Wish List works:

Visit our Amazon Wish List.
Browse the list and select any item(s) you'd like to donate.
Add the items to your cart and proceed to checkout.
Select the gift registry shipping address provided by Amazon. All purchases will be shipped directly to me.

Volunteers will sort and organize the donations at our Thanksgiving day event. They will be delivered to several organizations serving families and children in need, including Coalition for the Homeless and La Jornada.

A few updates on this year's event!

We're very excited to be returning to our original pre-pandemic home, the Church of the Intercession in Harlem!

For those unfamiliar with Gobble Gobble Give, we're a grassroots Thanksgiving Day event that brings together hundreds of volunteers to prepare and distribute thousands of meals, along with clothing, toiletries, toys, books, and other essentials to individuals and families in need throughout NYC. Volunteers can sign up in advance for a one-hour shift. There are lots of ways to help, including preparing meals, sorting donations, assembling care packages, organizing toys and clothing, and getting everything ready for delivery. It's a wonderful event for individuals, families, and groups who want to spend part of their Thanksgiving giving back! Kids are welcome!

Thanksgiving Day – Thursday, November 26, 2026
Location: Church of the Intercession, Harlem
The First Shift Starts at 8:00 AM
