Thanksgiving Food Drive A Success
This year, the Meade County Messenger (MCM) continued its tradition of hosting a can drive for underprivileged families in Meade County this Thanksgiving holiday. For right at a month, from October 16 through November 16, MCM asked for and accepted canned and dry goods from the community with the promise to match all donations. The outpouring from our local citizens was enormous, with more donations that we’ve ever had in previous years. By Thanksgiving, we had gathered enough food to feed about 30 families. The families ranged in size from a single person or a couple to families of six or more. With the help, support, and huge hearts of our community we were able to provide a warm, hearty meal to children and families that might not have otherwise been able to sit down with family and enjoy this most American of traditions.
