With less than a week to
go until Thanksgiving, needy families around Oahu received more than just
holiday cheer during the Institute for Human Services' annual "Give Thanks"
event on Saturday.
More than 100 volunteers
helped deliver donated food to roughly 80 families during the drive, which organizers
says provides needed supplies for families looking to get back on their feet
during the holiday season.
"You can see some of the
boxes that people are making that have soups in them, some cake mixes, a lot of
vienna sausage, a lot of pasta and rice, things that our local families really
do need to thrive," said Catherine Graham of the Institute for Human
Services.
Any leftover food that is
not distributed before Thanksgiving will stay at the I.H.S. shelter to help
other families in need during the holidays.
