Hays County Food Bank (HCFB) has been hosting the Turkeys Tackling Hunger holiday meal box program for 11 years and started out hosting Boxing Day at its headquarters in San Marcos.

Mallory Best, the Communications Coordinator at HCFB, said that, in an effort to make the program more efficient, the HCFB team has restructured the registration and food buying process to meet the needs of people in the 21st century.
