This, more than 150 citizen volunteers and individuals from local schools, businesses and organizations work as a team to deliver a complete meal that feeds eight to 10 people.

Recipents can either drive up and have bags loaded into their trunk or pick up pre-made bags inside. All meals consist of turkey, 10-pound bag of potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned veggies, olives, bread, miscelleaneous snacks, cake mix and a pumpkin pie.
