Volunteers came from around the community and included individuals as well as families hoping to give back. Were very blessed as we traditionally are this time of year for individuals and businesses to donate a wealth of turkeys and the fixings to allow us this opportunity. There were about 150 people served today. The food was donated from local businesses.

And if you want to put food in the freezer, it will last indefinitely, but at some point it will start to lose flavor. Of course, if something smells off or looks funny, you shouldnt eat it.
