Hays County Commissioners Court proclaimed the month of November as Turkeys Tackling Hunger Month and called upon the people of Hays County to pledge to support and participate in this program by helping to provide families and individuals in need throughout Hays County with the food to prepare a traditional holiday meal at home.
“Hays County Food Bank represents a county- wide effort to provide adequate access to nutritious food to low-income households and those who find themselves in a food emergency,” the proclamation stated. “In 2023, Hays County Food Bank provided more than 1,800 meal boxes filled with a turkey and traditional holiday foods that households in need could prepare in the comforts of their own home.”
Hays County Food Bank has officially launched its 18th annual Turkeys Tackling Hunger Campaign in an effort to raise funds for this special holiday meal program.
“Citizens of this great county can sponsor a family for Thanksgiving for just $60,” the proclamation stated. “Hays County wishes to demonstrate our support and commitment to the important work Hays County Food Bank does throughout the year ensuring that nobody goes hungry regardless of income level.”
