Over 250 local area families in need receive turkeys over the holidays

The numbers are staggering:  220 turkeys and 33 chickens distributed to 253 families in need in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown on one single day, thanks to the combined efforts The Food Bank of Westchester, the Community Food Pantry of Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown, The Salvation Army, and Sleepy Hollow Open Door Family Medical Center.  Confronting hunger is a year-round endeavor,  but those on the front lines know that they can accomplish even more by joining forces and using their combined strength to solve the greatest problems confronting local families in need.   Thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who handed out the turkeys in the Salvation Army parking lot, and to those who delivered home-bound meals as well.
