Christmastime can be financially stressful, especially this year when many are out of work or working reduced hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But, because of Tabithaâs Way Food Pantries in American Fork and Spanish Fork, hundreds of Utah County families will be able to enjoy Christmas dinners, even though they cannot afford it right now. These Christmas meals were given out to those in need on Monday, with a little help from local elected officials.
âFor many of us, including elected officials, these people are invisible to us. This gives the mayors a chance to serve this underserved population,â said Mike Carter, founder of American Forkâs pantry.
