Today, at 3 p.m., community volunteers will visit the HCC MGM Culinary Arts Institute to pick up 150 cooked turkeys, along with assorted sides prepared by HCC culinary arts students to help feed hungry people this holiday season 🙌

Their efforts are on behalf of The Compassion Project, founded by Areliz Barbosa, to deliver meals to hungry people on Thanksgiving. This marks the 23rd year of Barbosa’s initiative.

This year, Chef Tracy Carter, chair of the HCC culinary arts program, integrated the cooking of turkeys and Thanksgiving sides into the culinary arts curriculum to help meet the agency’s goal of delivering 2,000 hot meals.

The food will be taken to Gran Cocina on High Street in Holyoke, where hot meals will be available for pickup or sit-down on Thanksgiving Day.
