Thanks & Giving: An Evening with Mission Central
Saturday, November 15, 2025 | 5 p.m. | Central Penn College
This November, Mission Central invites you to join us for an evening of gratitude, generosity, and community impact. Our annual fall fundraising event - Thanks & Giving: An Evening with Mission Central - is more than just a night out. It’s a chance to gather in fellowship, celebrate what God has done through this ministry, and ensure that vital resources continue reaching people in need here in Pennsylvania, across the country, and around the world.
Set in the beautiful Conference Center at Central Penn College, the evening will feature a delicious meal, inspiring Mission Moments, and opportunities to connect with others who share a heart for service. Guests will also enjoy both silent and live auctions filled with unique items, experiences, and gifts - perfect for early holiday shopping while supporting a great cause.
The funds raised at Thanks & Giving make a real, tangible difference. Every ticket purchased, every auction bid placed, and every sponsorship secured helps us equip our 200+ community partners with the resources they need to meet urgent needs. Whether it’s providing Hygiene Kits for families displaced by disaster, Cleaning Buckets for communities rebuilding after floods, mobility equipment for seniors, or school supplies for children, your generosity fuels every shipment that leaves our Mechanicsburg warehouse.
In 2024 alone, the Mission Central warehouse supported 8.7 million people with more than $23.5 million in resources. None of that happens without the faithful support of friends, churches, and organizations who believe in our mission: Connecting God’s Resources with Human Need. This dinner is our single largest fundraising event of the year, and it is essential to sustaining our work in 2026 and beyond.
There are many ways to be part of this special night:
Attend: Gather friends, family, or members of your congregation for a memorable evening together.
Sponsor: Businesses, organizations, and individuals can support at levels starting at just $500, with recognition in our program and across our communication channels.
Donate: Can’t make it in person? Consider donating an auction item, underwriting part of the event, or making a direct gift to help us reach our goal.
We hope you’ll mark your calendar for Saturday, November 15, and join us for an evening that truly embodies the spirit of Thanks & Giving. Together, we can celebrate what has been accomplished and look forward to all that is possible when we come together in faith and generosity.
