Thanksgiving is coming up and Food Bank is counting our food items, and cranberries and butter/margarine keep coming to the top of the most needed.  Also, today, we discovered we are going to be 200 turkeys short of our goal of 2000.  Please go to our website www.fairbanksfoodbank.org or  LIKE US on Fairbanks Community Food Bank FACEBOOK page. 

We are putting daily updates of what we still need to make various goals of specific food items.  We need and appreciate your help every year, but especially this year it is tougher for many of our local families.  We heard of a family today who lost the father, and the mom and kids were left with pancake mix in their cupboard.  In the Tanana Valley, we want ALL our families to have food for which they can give thanks.  Many of us have enough to share, and the food bank is a good way to share what we have with others.  Our food distribution will be on Nov. 23.
