Group will feed 100 families

This Thanksgiving, 100 families from the tri-county area will share the bounty of the holiday thanks to the generosity of people from their community.

Terrie Towers, coordinator for Feeding Local Families, has helped initiate a program that seeks out, finds and feeds families who might otherwise not have a Thanksgiving meal.

Often it is because they may fall through the cracks. For example, grandparents who are caring for their grandchildren may have incomes that are a few dollars over what would make them eligible for food stamps.

Feeding Local Families cross-references lists of those in need to ensure that families aren't appearing on more than one list, and aren't abusing the system by obtaining more than their share, thereby causing someone else to miss out on help.

Among those assisting with the program are AMVETS Post 422, the First United Methodist Church of Chiefland, volunteers with the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Department, Suwannee River Cruisers, United Christian Services and Children and Family Services.
