Recognizing the important role food plays in many holiday traditions, Harvesters’ Holiday Meal program distributes more than 40,000 turkeys, hens and hams to the hungry over the holidays.
Liz, director of Blue Summit Baptist Church, a Harvesters agency, was approached by a woman asking for food for dinner that night for her two grandchildren. It was just days before Christmas.
“We gave her some food for that night, but we also gave her enough to make a Christmas dinner,” said Liz. “You can stand there and see people who are hungry, but you don’t understand until you hear their stories and see the tears in their eyes.”
