Tri-State Friends, share this on your socials and directly with people you know who could use a hand making Thanksgiving a little easier and a little more substantial. This is still part of our SNAP Response efforts to make sure those who got behind and encountered cascading hardships have some food-based restitution going into the holidays.

People sometimes message us for the criteria to come to a distribution like this at Bosse. If you need food, come see us tomorrow morning. If you can't come to Bosse Field, look for a pantry near you on our site www.tristatefoodbank.com - we exist to make sure you can feed your family. In our 33 counties, about 140,000 struggle with food insecurity and just under 100,000 receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance. That 40,000 difference are families who work hard, make just over the threshold for SNAP, and arguably need even more help for that reason. You are welcome to join us - it is our privilege to serve you.

Keep December 12 on your calendar as well for two simultaneous holiday give-away Mobile Food Distributions to be announced soon, and we'll also be providing the final results and distribution pathways for our 10th Annual WIKY 104.1-FM Ton of Turkeys campaign. What do you think--did we hit our goal of 1,000 turkeys for our neighbors? I mean, that would be crazy, right? What started as trying to raise 1 ton of turkeys, 10 years later raising 10 tons? No way that could happen!

Finally, if you're looking for a spot to contribute so our vulnerable families can have a better holiday season, you know we're a regional partner food bank of Feeding America. Forbes just ranked Feeding America #1 out of 2 million registered U.S. charities because their stewardship of funds is the best in the country. We're serious about making every penny count, making sure food is provided where it's needed most in our communities. Thank you for your generosity and support, friends!
