They distributed a total of 80 meals—each packed with herb stuffed turkey, honied carrots, wild rice pilaf, butternut squash soup, homemade cranberry sauce, gravy, cornbread with honey butter, and a freshly baked loaf of apple cake with caramel icing. Families were invited to stop by and pick up a ready-to-eat meal. Marcella Rodriguez, the Director of Culinary Education at Allie’s Place Center for Culinary Education
