Ken Garff Automotive Group donates Thanksgiving meals to veterans

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Ken Garff Automotive Group is donating Thanksgiving meals to veterans during their annual “Drive Out Hunger” events.

On Friday and Saturday, the automotive group is partnering with the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System to give veterans and military families a free Thanksgiving meal during drive-through events in select Utah cities.

The Thanksgiving meal will include a frozen turkey, cranberry sauce, a box of stuffing, mashed potatoes, cornbread mix, canned corn and green beans, a roaster pan, pudding, and a frozen pumpkin pie.

“The Ken Garff Drive Out Hunger event helps us reach hundreds, ensuring our Veterans will have a meal to sit down to this Thanksgiving. It is only by working together that we can help bridge the gap and provide the necessary resources to those who have bravely served our nation,” said Steve Prater, food security program coordinator, VA Salt Lake City Health Care System. 

The meals will be packed on Friday and distributed on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
