Organizers said, "Not only will we feed the community, but we will prepare food baskets for several families throughout the community during the upcoming holiday season. If you know of someone that can benefit from a food basket, please let us know. We will need for you to provide their name, address, phone number, and how many family members are in their household. This will help us to provide enough food for that household."
