East Haven Food Pantry director Phyllis LaRoche spoke to East Haven Patch about this year's holiday meal basket drive, which is already off to a strong start for the season.
This Thanksgiving, the pantry handed out 236 turkeys with all the trimings, and 35 $10 dollar gift cards for those who did not want turkeys but were in need of a food basket.
And volunteers are hopeful that that level of community support and giving will continue for the remainder of the holiday season as well as into the new year.
