More Flakesgiving Pictures

Thanks to the hundreds of generous volunteers, listeners and local businesses who helped make Flakesgiving 2013 our biggest yet. We couldn't do it without you. Here's some more pics from Saturday.

It takes hundreds of volunteers to assemble, deliver and distribute 1,500 meals

The guys in the truck are amazing

The crowds starting lining up at 8 am. For the first time ever, we actually ran out of meals.

The Billings American Legion Baseball players were one of many groups who helped load the meals for delivery

Thanks to nearly 60 volunteer drivers, we were able to deliver over 400 meals to families who couldn't make it to Metra.

Thanks to the Rocky Mountain College ladies basketball team for helping us hand out meals.

These are the drivers who delivered meals all over Yellowstone County

Each of the 1,500 meals we distributed will feed a family of between 5 and 7 this Thanksgiving

Many of our volunteers have been helping us out for years.

In 25 years of Flakesgiving, we've never seen more families than we did this year

Thanks to the Billings Bulls for helping us out again this year

If you ever get the chance to volunteer, watching Flakesgiving from behind the scenes is truly an amazing sight to behold

Thanks to all of the high school kids who work circles around us old folks every year. Watching you guys do the heavy lifting saves us a lot of aches and pains in the morning.

Here's the "group shot" from all of the volunteers who put the meals together on Friday

some of volunteers had some interesting ways of staying warm

We also would like to thank our friends at KULR 8 for helping spread the good word every year, especially reporters Katherine McKnight and Kyle Benton.
