Every box feeds up to 10 people and includes a 10-12lb Turkey, 10 lb bag of potatoes, can of black olives, can of corn, twi boxes of mac and cheese, packet of gravy mix, stuffing, and celery.

Several school groups helped at the event including students from Laurel, Huntley, and Joliet. Some businesses, including Walmart and Weed Man, brought their employees out to assist at the annual event.

Some of the volunteers were seen handing Mark Wilson checks for the Flakesgiving fund, with most saying they would be back to hand out boxes on Saturday (11/23). If you would like to donate to Flakegiving, CLICK HERE for more info.
