Yolo Foodbank announces 10 locations for Thanksgiving meal kits distribution

The Yolo Food Bank has announced it will have 10 sites in Yolo County for the distribution of Thanksgiving meal kits. 

The Food Bank is preparing for the holidays with other “Sharing Yolo’s Bounty” with 3,000 families in every community in the county this Thanksgiving. As pandemic disruption continues, the year-round demand for food assistance in Yolo County suggests that a 50-percent increase in Holiday Meal Kit requests will persist this holiday season. 

The distributions will be throughout the county and will start next week. Each meal kit will include a turkey, an assortment of fresh, seasonal produce, and other classic Thanksgiving “fixings” to offer sustenance and comfort at this season of generosity and gratitude.

Below is more information about distributions for each site.
