In memory of a matriarch of Dixwell, volunteers are gathering provisions to keep 1,000 families warm and fed this Thanksgiving. They need your help.

Volunteers have received money or pledges for 500 turkeys, halfway to their goal. They’re collecting in memory of Mae Ola Riddick (pictured), who died earlier this month.
