From Wisconsin-
A lot more families need help this holiday season. Trinity Episcopal Church is doing its part to fill that need.
"After we did our initial holiday meal boxes, we realized we would be short," said Georgette Young, president of the Baraboo Food Pantry. "When I found out about the additional donations from Trinity Episcopal Church, I was overjoyed."
She said on Wednesday the pantry was able to supply 130 meal boxes filled with a turkey, vegetables, cranberries, stuffing, potatoes and a pie for families who are in need of help putting a meal on the table this Thanksgiving holiday.
"We're hoping to fill 250 boxes," Young said. "If donations continue to come in, I am confident we will be to meet that need."
Today, Trinity Episcopal Church members will donate 75 dinners - complete with turkeys - to the Baraboo Food Pantry.
"With the economy the way it is, families are having a difficult time right now," said Chris Contino, Trinity Episcopal Church member. "This is our way of advancing our ministry in Baraboo."
