All Faiths Food Bank received a total of $45,000 in donations from the Kathleen K Catlin Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and the Gail Baird Foundation to provide frozen turkeys and side dishes to distribute to over 26,000 people in our community this holiday season. “Many working families within our community don’t have the means to provide a healthy meal during the holidays,” said CEO Sandra Frank. “Thanks to a handful of generous donors, thousands of families in our community will have meals to truly be thankful for this holiday season.” Along with the distribution of 6,500 turkeys, families will also take home cranberry sauce, green beans, potatoes, gravy and stuffing to serve at their holiday dinner.  More than 26,000 people will be served at seven different locations in Sarasota and DeSoto Counties, with the largest distribution of holiday dinners occurring on November 21, from 11am to 5pm at Robarts Arena.
