Over 60 Christmas dinner baskets given away by local food bank

TOPEKA (KSNT) - An area food bank hosted its third-annual Christmas dinner giveaway this morning. 

Be Filled of South Topeka, alongside other vendors had the opportunity to hand out over 60 baskets of food items.

The baskets were donated by an anonymous donor from a church, and allow people to cook a Christmas dinner for their families. 

"We enjoy just sharing the love and giving to people what they need," Jamie Jalil, interim executive director of Be Filled, said. "We know that prices are really high right now and it's difficult to purchase food let alone holiday meals, which are more expensive anyway. So this just really helps them not to worry about their Christmas meal"

Be Filled doesn't just help during the holiday season with meals. They also have other essentials like clothing available year-round.
