Thanks to generous donors and volunteers working with the Kansas Food Bank and our numerous hunger-relief partners, thousands of Kansas families will be able to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast this week. Last week, Wichita’s Bread of Life handed out turkeys and food boxes to 3,000 families. More charities will be providing food and serving Thanksgiving meals this week, all with the help of the Kansas Food Bank and made possible by generous donors and volunteers.
