RACINE â One thousand food boxes were distributed at Dan & Rayâs first-ever Community Easter Meal Giveaway from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday at Festival Hall in Downtown Racine.
Families were able to drive their vehicles, or arrive on foot, through two tents set up in the parking lot. Attendees stated how many boxes they needed and volunteers helped load up their cars.
About 50 volunteers were in attendance to help distribute food, said Ray Stibeck, owner of Route 20 restaurant in Yorkville.
Stibeck, and Dan Johnson, owner of Dannyâs Meats, have been putting together Dan & Ray Rendering Thanks on Thanksgiving for 11 years, since its inception. The Easter meal giveaway was new this year.
