The Ellen O’Brien Gaiser Center, in collaboration with the Butler Children Advocacy Center, provided local families with Thanksgiving meals this year.
The meals were prepared by the Gaiser Center’s kitchen staff, with supplies ranging from turkeys and mashed potatoes to paper towels and plates provided by a staff food drive.
The meals were delivered Wednesday and will feed three large households this year with 12, 9 and 6 members respectively.
