The local YMCA Daddy Daughter Adventure Guides program “Rainbow Sparkles” began a holiday project two weeks ago to help those in need for a Thanksgiving meal.

They gathered donations for more than 100 boxes, packed with all the ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner.

The group, with help from a local Boy Scout troop, worked together to assemble and decorate the boxes before bringing them to the Mount Si Food Bank. This is the second year in a row the adventure guides have supported the food bank.

Each box included a $20 gift card for turkey, canned fruits, canned vegetables, instant mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, cranberries, baking mix, pie crust and filling, and jam.
