Dozens of people line up at the new Meals on Main Street food mobile in the St. Peter’s Church parking lot to collect free turkeys and various other produce and canned goods for Thanksgiving on Tuesday, Nov. 23. The organization held three distribution days leading up to the holiday with food they were able to secure after raising money through a fun run fundraiser in October.

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without dessert. Irving Avenue resident Helen Nelson is happy to accept a free pie to top off her fresh groceries.
