That's a LOT of green beans! 🫛💚

A big thank you to The First Presbyterian Church of Durango and their wonderful parishioners for collecting an impressive 400 cans of green beans for our Thanksgiving meal bags this year!

Our donation coordinator stopped by this morning to pick them all up and got a pretty good workout in the process. 😂

We sure appreciate everyone who helped make this happen! 🧡

🌧️🚔 Rain or shine, Durango Police Department delivers! 🦃

Our friends at the Durango Police Department braved today's wild, wet weather to drop off over 200 boxes of stuffing AND over 200 packets of gravy collected by their department for our Thanksgiving Meal Drive!

Thanks to their generosity, we're one step closer to helping local families facing food insecurity enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal together. 🧡

A HUGE thank you to the entire Durango Police Department team for stepping up, collecting donations and showing our community what it means to serve! 👏
