Hays County Food Bank Announces Boxing Day For Turkeys Tackling Hunger

On Friday, November 9th, at 8:00 AM, Night Hawk employees will begin assembly of a little over 2,000 holiday meal boxes.

The time has come to fill boxes for Hays County Food Bank’s annual Turkeys Tackling Hunger Holiday Meal Box Program, and Night Hawk Frozen Foods, Inc. is ready for the task.

For the 4th consecutive year, Night Hawk Frozen Foods, Inc. is halting production on their famous frozen dinners to instead stuff boxes with traditional holiday foods like green beans, stuffing, and pumpkin.

On Friday, November 9th, at 8:00 AM, Night Hawk employees will begin assembly of a little over 2,000 holiday meal boxes.

Owners, Scott and Leanne Logan, have been supporting the food bank efforts since 2014 and enjoy taking a hands-on approach to helping tackle hunger in Hays County.

They’ve even jumped behind the assembly line to help with production. This is their 5th year as Title Sponsor for Turkeys Tackling Hunger.

The week prior to Thanksgiving, the filled holiday meal boxes will make their journey, with the help of Little Guys Movers, to distribution sites throughout the county.

Food bank staff and volunteers will be awaiting these parcels to then hand out to families who have signed up to receive this special gift. If residents would like to volunteer for a distribution, please contact Jessica Cruz at (512) 392-8300 x222 or at jcruz@haysfoodbank.org.

This is the 12th year for Turkeys Tackling Hunger, and the food bank is ecstatic to continue to offer this program in addition to regular services.

In 2017, over 6,000 individuals were able to enjoy a home cooked holiday meal, surrounded by their loved ones. Hays County Food Bank hopes even more families in need will be able to benefit this year.

Hays County Food Bank would not be able to provide this holiday meal box program without the help of so many, including sponsors Night Hawk Frozen Foods, Inc., Little Guys Movers, Lamar Advertising, Grande Communications, Wells Fargo, H-E-B, Heat Bootcamp, Buda Turkey Trot, and Seton Medical Center Hays.

If residents would like to donate to help make someone’s holiday extra special, they can can donate online at www.haysfoodbank.org/donate or mail in a donation to 220 Herndon Street, San Marcos, TX 78666.
