Food pantry giving away Thanksgiving dinner boxes

Mountaire isn't the only group trying to help this holiday season, a Delmarva non-profit is also doing their part to make sure everyone has a full belly on Thanksgiving day.

The Blessing House Ministries' food pantry is planning to hand out hundreds of complete holiday dinners on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Organizers say they have been doing this for at least 15 years and this year they are expecting 200 families to show up. 

One organizer, Dick Pryor, says the packages contain everything families need to make it a great turkey day. 

"There will be a roasting chicken not a turkey in these boxes. A roasting chicken and all the other fixings that you need for thanksgiving dinner. Stuffing potatoes, mashed potatoes that sort of things. Cranberry sauce of course, one of my favorites by the way."

No sign up is required. Organizers say anyone in need can show up at 7915 Old Ocean Rd in Whaleyville.
