Feeling truly blessed and grateful today to be part of this community and to have the most amazing team of people working beside me everyday. No one can ever truly understand how intense Thanksgiving is for us. It’s more than a day, or a week. It’s a month of planning, organizing, typing, sorting, ordering, adjusting, receiving and fighting fires when things don’t show up or last minute changes happen.

This year was truly a feat. We crushed last years totals with a whopping 838 items this year!! That included:
300 lbs of Turkey Breast
200 lbs of Mashed Potatoes
80 lbs of Sweet Mashed Potatoes
120 lbs of Mac & Cheese
200lbs of Stuffing
100 Stuffed Breads
3120 ounces (about 25 gallons) of Turkey Gravy
Plus Green Beans & Brussels Sprouts for days!!
We also provided 161 meals to the Southbury Food Bank, which were distributed to our neighbors on Wednesday morning. It was one crazy week! Thank you to everyone who made it happen! We love being part of this town! Next stop…Christmas!!
