F.O.R. Maricopa’s food bank volunteer distributed frozen turkeys and the makings of a full Thanksgiving meal to scores of residents. This is the third year of the Thanksgiving distribution, according to Executive Director Wendy Webb. With food boxes and turkeys on a first-come first-served basis, vehicles were lined up around the empty property behind F.O.R. Maricopa for drive-thru service.
