Rochester, N.Y. — Local groups embraced the season of giving Saturday night.
People’s Choice Kitchen continued a tradition by giving out free Thanksgiving meals to families in need.
The organization says it has already handed out food to close to 200 families, including turkey, pies, and canned food.
“It’s been months in the making with planning this event,” said Evangela Stanley, the owner of People’s Choice Kitchen. “I want to tell you the outpouring of support and the donors that donate so much to this event to make it possible.”
“My thing is I look at everyone as extended family,” continued Stanley. “If I’m able to help someone, that’s what I want to do.”
Several local businesses have donated items to Saturday night’s giveaway, including Salvatores and Wegmans.
