Working with community partners and over 800 volunteers, the initiative will distribute approximately 350,000 meals to an estimated 75,000 people across the 23-county service area.<\/p>\n<p>The drive-thru distribution process will provide grocery bags filled with a turkey and holiday staples to families on a first-come, first-served basis with no eligibility requirements. In the Huson Valley, they will give out 115,000 turkey dinners to 25,000 people.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">\u00a0\u201cWhen cars go up to these different sites, they\u2019re going to receive two bags. One bag is going to have a turkey, the other is a 30-pound bag that will have all the fixings. I\u2019m talking, stuffing, gravy, mixed vegetables, potatoes, apples, and even dessert,\u201d said spokesman Barry Lewis.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">There are six locations in the Hudson Valley where you can get a meal.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to be in Sullivan, Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, and Rockland counties.
