LAKE TAHOE — Next week, families, friends and strangers gather all over the country to celebrate one of America's favorite holidays in Thanksgiving.
“It's my favorite holiday of the year,” said Bill Wood, general manager of the Crystal Bay Club when asked about the holiday at the CBC.
Many families will prepare meals at home while some decide to select one of the area Thanksgiving buffets. But for some local families, finding a way to put that meal on the table is difficult.
That's where Project MANA helps. This Saturday, MANA will begin distributing frozen turkeys and all the trimmings for a traditional Thanksgiving meal to local families — from Truckee to Incline Village.
“This year we have 560 people to feed,” said George LeBard, executive director of Project MANA on Tuesday afternoon. “We have about 450 turkeys right now.”
That means LeBard still must come up with more than 100 turkeys before Saturday so that all can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
Frozen turkeys, nonperishable food items, cash and checks can still be delivered right to Project MANA at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Non-Profit Center.
