PUEBLO — Families in Pueblo will have a happy Thanksgiving. The RMSER Empowerment Center hosted a Thanksgiving food pantry Monday.
More than 300 families were able to collect different items for their meals for the holiday.
"This is really nice that they are doing this for the people that really need it and it is a blessing from God that they did this for us," said Luis Valdez, a Pueblo resident.
Tuesday, a turkey basket giveaway will be happening at the Harley Davidson Outpost on North Elizabeth Street in Pueblo from 10 a.m. to noon.
