The Center for Family Life and Recovery has partnered with BNY Mellon to provide dinners for clients in need.
Volunteers from both organizations distributed the dinner boxes in the Chanatry's parking lot on Tuesday for the 20th annual Thanksgiving Dinner Basket Drive.
Volunteers say it's a rewarding experience every year.
"It's just wonderful to see the client family coming through to pick up their families. These are people who wouldn't necessarily identify themselves as being in need and through our agency we're able to do that and really give them that hope for the Holiday season this year," said Katrena Freetage, the Fund Development and Communications Director.
A total of 64 families were able to get full Thanksgiving meals.
