Families feel the pinch of inflation and increased food costs – Local nonprofit is only at 6% of its goal of 4,000 turkeys
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County may not hit its goal of 4,000 turkey donations before the Thanksgiving holiday on November 23. The Foodbank initiated its annual Turkey Drive on November 1, however the level of contributions received has not met the anticipated expectations. The need is outpacing donations with only 252 birds currently donated and 10 days left before Thanksgiving. This year, the Foodbank served over 230,000 unduplicated individuals—a 40% increase from last year.
