The organization hoped to feed hundreds of local families with Tuesday’s Thanksgiving meal distribution.
It’s part of the YMCA’s monthly mobile food pantry in collaboration with Harvester’s. Each month, they distribute about 13,000 pounds of food, but they expected to feed even more ahead of Thanksgiving.

Families received everything from turkeys, sweet potatoes, salads, and more, so they don’t have to worry about the burden of trying to afford inflated food prices.
The YMCA also partnered with local organizations, the Joey Foundation, and New Reflections for Tuesday’s giveaway.
