YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KSWT, KECY) - The Yuma Community Food Bank will be giving away 300 holiday meals on November 22 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

“If you’re out shopping, buy one for you and buy one for the community,” said Shara Whitehead, the president and CEO of the Yuma Community Food Bank.

This campaign is part of the food bank’s first annual holiday food drive. On top of the turkey, families will receive a box of food including corn, pasta, hot chocolate mix, and more.
