American Marconi Wireless News - Church of Ambrosia's Food for Shrooms Supports Mistah F.A.B.'s Turkey Giveaway

OAKLAND, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2026 / The Church of Ambrosia is collecting Thanksgiving food through its Food for Shrooms program to support Oakland rapper and community advocate Mistah F.A.B.'s 22nd annual turkey giveaway. Donations for the giveaway will be accepted daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Nov. 23 at Zide Door, 1216 10th Ave., Oakland, CA 94606.

Food for Shrooms is the church's food-collection program, supporting Mistah F.A.B.'s long-running Thanksgiving giveaway. The giveaway will take place Nov. 24 at the intersection of 45th and Market streets in Oakland.

The church is asking members and neighbors to contribute the Thanksgiving staples that help turn a turkey into a family meal. Requested items include Jiffy corn muffin mix, cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, shelf-stable mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, canned corn, and canned green beans. All items must be unopened and within their listed expiration or best-by dates. Donors should bring their original purchase receipts with their food donations.

"Last year, our members and neighbors stepped up to support F.A.B.'s toy giveaway. This year, we're expanding that effort to help with Thanksgiving, too," said Dave Hodges, founder and pastor of the Church of Ambrosia. "Bring what you can. Every contribution helps put food on a family's table."

In an Instagram post about this year's turkey giveaway, Mistah F.A.B. described the work as "keeping this torch lit, keeping this fire going" and being "On the frontline for our people." He invited anyone interested in getting involved to reach out directly.

Monetary and Turkey Donations: Contact Mistah F.A.B. Directly

Individuals, businesses, and organizations that can contribute money, donate turkeys, or help with a bulk turkey donation should email Mistah F.A.B. directly at [email protected] to coordinate their support. These contributions should be arranged with him, rather than through the church's Food for Shrooms collection.
