“This means a lot,” said Maria Mora, who picked up food for her family yesterday.
Volunteers help Alaskans pick up free Thanksgiving groceries at the Mountain View Community Center on Monday.
“This means a lot,” Mora said. “Especially when you go and see the price on Costco, $82 for a turkey. And I say, ‘Wow, how can we buy that for the family? And then plus everything else?’ So then, now, here, we can get it for free, ‘cause community help. That’s a blessing. It is.” She said COVID-19 made everything harder. And of course, there’s inflation. Thethat turkeys cost about 30% more than last year, and that the cost of an entire Thanksgiving meal is up about 14%.
“A lot of families, you know, have to save their money for bills, other utilities,” Guyer said. “So by providing this event we’re able to help them so they can make their dollar go a little bit further.” This was one of six distribution sites in Anchorage on Monday. Five other sites in the Mat-Su held Thanksgiving Blessing events on Saturday.
