?? Happy Thanksgiving to Our Inland Empire Neighbors! This holiday season, FARSB distributed over 5,400 turkeys to community partners, military veteran sites, and families. Thanksgiving is a time for family and togetherness, and we know how much sharing a meal means—especially to families like Tracy's. ? "Our family has been struggling this part of the year. Thanksgiving is always a huge thing for us to come together in one space as a family," shared Tracy at one of our distributions. ?? We wish everyone a joyful and meaningful holiday season.
