SANTA BARBARA — Every year for more than three decades, Santa Barbara City College donates a complete Thanksgiving meal for low-income, single-parent families who are enrolled in school.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Throughout Wednesday morning on campus, 150 students drove up to the Thanksgiving dinner giveaway. For many, Thursday’s food festivities wouldn’t happen if it weren’t for the donation.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Volunteers filled cars and trucks with turkey and all the trimmings.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

“Rolls, whipped cream, dressing for the turkey, potatoes, carrots, cranberry sauce, gravy and butter. So we hope that that’s everything for a student to prepare their meal for their family,” said Chelsea Lancaster, Extended Opportunities and Program Services (EOPS) adviser.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

The annual event through EOPS helps less fortunate students and their children.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

“It’s amazing, right? It’s like, really? It’s crazy. It’s really good though,” said SBCC student Nancy Damore.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Each student received enough food for a family of four, allowing the single parents to share the feast with some other family members.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

“And it looks like we’ve been given plenty enough to do that, to share. I was going to head to the grocery store but it looks like I don’t need to do that!” said Shannon Stark with a laugh.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Campus and private donors make the giveaway possible for the students working on earning their degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

“I have a 4-year-old, I do, yes. So it’s nice. He’s going to be super excited. He’s like, ‘Mommy pie, whipped cream!’ It will be a good Thanksgiving now that we got a little bit of help,” said Nicole Balacios.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

“If you can imagine the things that low-income families go through especially in this economic climate, they’re the ones that are really hit the hardest. They really appreciate this meal,” said Lancaster.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

The food for the 150 families was provided by the Foundation for Santa Barbara City College, Jordano’s, Albertson’s on the Mesa and Lazy Acres.<\/span><\/p>\n
