Hays County Food Bank Launches 20th Annual 'Turkeys Tackling Hunger' Campaign
The Hays County Food Bank has initiated its 20th annual 'Turkeys Tackling Hunger' campaign, aiming to provide over 1,500 families with traditional holiday meals. The campaign, which commenced on October 29, seeks community support through donations and volunteers to address rising food costs and increasing local needs. Each complete holiday meal kit, which includes a turkey and classic holiday sides and trimmings, is estimated to cost $60. The initiative is funded by community contributions and supported by several sponsors, including Night Hawk Frozen Foods, United Way of Hays and Caldwell Counties, Little Guys Movers, H-E-B, Community Action, Serving Friends, and Central Texas Food Bank. Lisa Young, Hays County Food Bank executive director, emphasized that the campaign is about bringing people together and ensuring every family in Hays County can celebrate the holidays with dignity and joy.
