Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, and many families depend upon the Tri-Community Helping Hands food bank, which serves Phelan, Pinon Hills, and Wrightwood. In preparation for the upcoming holiday season, the organization is asking the community to lend a helping hand and provide a Thanksgiving meal for those in need. The 501.c3 nonprofit is asking for donations of just one regular-size can of green beans, corn, peaches, or yams and a box of stuffing. Donated items can be dropped off at the Wrightwood CSD building located at 1275 Highway 2 in Wrightwood from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM -1:00 PM or at the United Methodist Church located at 1543 Barbara Street in Wrightwood, open from 9:00 AM- 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

All other donations can be mailed to Tri-Community Helping Hands, a 501.c3 nonprofit,  PO Box 2742, Wrightwood, CA 92397

If you are interested in volunteering your time to help separate or distribute food for those in need, please get in touch with Bruce LaClaire for Helping Hands at brucewwpoa@gmail.com
