Free meal box distributions will be held on a first-come, first-served basis, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., while supplies last. No preregistration. No documentation required. Held rain or shine, while supplies last.

According to Second Harvest’s Regional Executive Director Chelsea Armstrong, area families that are already struggling often have difficulty providing a holiday meal. “While many families look forward to the holidays, others are faced with uncertainty about what they’ll be able to put on the table.” Armstrong emphasized that the Turkey Drive provides an opportunity for families in need to enjoy a healthy holiday meal, which they might otherwise go without.
