SSD Dining Services and volunteers from local churches are working together to ensure all children in the community have healthy meals to eat over Thanksgiving Break. Today they boxed up more than 13,000 meals that will serve 960 children. Families who signed up to receive free meals from SSD will receive a box with seven breakfasts and seven lunches for each child living in the home. Each box includes a traditional Thanksgiving meal for the holiday. Meals will be delivered to families on Nov. 23. We are thankful for the volunteers from our local churches who are helping to make this possible!
