Co-ordinator at the St. George Food Bank Sarah Norman tells Tide News they have collected 101 turkeys to fill hamper boxes so far, but they need 49 more to fill the requests of the local families over the holiday season.
She says tomorrow (Saturday) the Food Bank is hosting its annual Hamper Packing Party, inviting the public to spread the holiday cheer, pack a few boxes, and meet with friends and family. That will begin at 9am.
She says last year, they had such a good turn-out, they were finished packing the hampers after only an hour.
Norman tells us the turkeys can be dropped off right at the Food Bank, located at 124 Main Street in St. George, and they can accept the turkeys up until December 20th.
