MISSOULA — For the 24th year, the Missoula Food Bank handed out turkey dinners to families in need ahead of the holiday season.
Missoula Food Bank Director of Operations Caitlyn Taix said with around 2,000 turkeys available, their goal was to make the holiday just a little less stressful.
“Certainly, we know that holidays can add extra pressure to people’s lives and this kind of extra thing hoping to provide a holiday meal for their family trying to get gifts around the December Holidays so we know that it’s a time when people might need a little extra support due to all of these other factors happening.”
Taix noted the Missoula Food Bank expected to serve anywhere from 1,300 to 1,500 residents on Sunday.
