Local families in need are thankful this holiday season, as Boca Helping Hands provided them with turkeys and all the ingredients needed to cook a holiday feast. The organization sourced a record number of turkeys and boxes filled with Thanksgiving dinner essentials for nearly 2,900 registered families, which were distributed last weekend and will continue to be distributed this week. The families picked up their meals at five separate Thanksgiving Box Brigade events in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Lantana/Lake Worth and Boynton Beach.
“We are privileged to be able to help so many families with assistance from organizations and people throughout the community,” Greg Hazle, Executive Director, Boca Helping Hands said.
Thanksgiving Box Brigade supporters include ADT, Robert and Anita Kriensky, Phoenix Tower International, AvalonBay Communities, Boca Raton Airport Authority and the Town of Palm Beach United Way.
