Every year the Salvation Army Ridgecrest Corps prepares Thanksgiving meal boxes for those in need. This last Sunday, November 19th, in only two hours, Rotarians and Interactors along with members of Kiwanis and their Key Club packed 200 boxes of food to help make this Thanksgiving bountiful for 200 families: 40 military and 160 households of our community.

With the exception of a turkey, which will be handled separately, each box contained everything needed to cook a complete meal, including pumpkin Pie.

Holiday Food Box recipients are screened to confirm need and all food items were donated by local food pantries, grocery stores, and individuals. Thank you Salvation Army for taking such good care of our desert communities!
