Flocking to Bread for the City for Thanksgiving turkeys — and more
, director of the food and clothing programs at Bread for the City.
“It centers on food,” Collins said. “For those who are food insecure, they worry about how to provide a Thanksgiving meal. That’s at the top of people’s minds starting in September and October: making sure they can do that for the family.” Or it usually is, anyway. The pandemic and supply chain issues meant no turkeys in 2020. Instead, Bread for the City distributed $50 debit cards. In 2021, it distributed $75 debit cards. This year, clients were able to receive groceries, a turkey or chicken,“This is like the ultimate choice,” Collins said. “You have 50 dollars you can spend however you want for your family’s needs at Thanksgiving.”“The ones that always get me are the children’s clothing stores,” Collins said.
