FARMINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — More than 500 Thanksgiving meals were assembled for delivery Saturday morning in Farmington at the KBE Foundation’s Gift of Gobble.
More than 40 volunteers and their families gathered at Camp Courant to continue the tradition that’s been happening every Thanksgiving since 2009.
“We have done about 5,100 meals all together over the years 12 or 13 years,” said Maryellen Cherwinski, Chair of KBE Foundation.
Volunteers formed meal-prep assembly lines where they packed meal boxes with turkey, green beans, yams, dinner rolls, two kinds of pie, a roasting pan and more.
The meal boxes will be distributed between 18 different community service organizations who deliver the meals to families in need.
