More Info
Basket Brigade is a program established by Grandmaster Azad, at Azad’s Martial Arts Center in Chico to help local families in need with a gift basket of complete Thanksgiving food. Your donations directly help these families who are experiencing severe financial hardship. You will never see these families on the church food line. To qualify they must have school-age kids, be financially in need, and be referred to by their respective schoolteachers and school employees. No amount of money is too little or too large. Every cent of your donations will benefit the recipients.
Each year Azad's Martial Arts Center and its team spearhead this drive to help hundreds of local families. This year in honor of the 33rd year of this event Azad's will help 600 families in three different counties. Everyone involved in this drive is entirely a volunteer and passionate about giving a helping hand to others during their challenging times. Basket Brigade has helped tens of thousands of children and their family members and their goal is to reach out to more families in need each year.
