Some 150 local families will be able to cook complete Thanksgiving dinners this holiday thanks to the efforts of local volunteers that helped the Feed the Need organization collect and distribute the “Gobble Kits” Monday in a parking lot on Mode Lane near White Rock Park.

The Feed the Need group has been providing free hamburger and hot dog suppers at the location for months, and during that time they’d been inviting folks to return for this special Thanksgiving event.

“A lot of these families couldn’t otherwise afford a Thanksgiving meal like this,” said Jonah Beyer, one of the founders of the Feed the Need organization. “It’s amazing to be able to do this.”
