In assembly line fashion, Korovin Ellis, Harley Bates, Eva and Damon Roher, and Bonnie and Don Roher prepare to distribute holiday meal ingredients to local families. Put on each year by the Wrangell Ministerial Association, the food drive served up meals for 262 individuals, including 89 children, or 79 households in all. The packages included full Thanksgiving fare, with a turkey, dressing, potatoes, vegetables, dessert and all the trimmings – about $4,712 worth in all. In addition to a $1,000 grant, the remainder came from small gifts and donations. Any items left over will go toward the Salvation Army food bank, in preparation for its annual Christmas dinner drive.
