In anticipation of the Thanksgiving holiday and with more families in need amidst the pandemic than usual, MBK rallied to deliver Thanksgiving food items to The Gray House. Led by team leaders, Chelsea Cox and Sarah Rose Stack, the team collected donations and money before making the drop-off. Sarah Rose, Mallory, and Briana went shopping for turkeys, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings. The team was able to fill 4 bins with food and make an additional monetary donation. Did you know that The Gray House is able to obtain about 6,000 lbs. worth of food for just $50? With more families in need this year, every little bit helps. The Gray House expects to feed between 800-1,000 families this Thanksgiving.
