Thousands of families in Indy are deprived of typical Thanksgiving Dinner.

2 cans of green beans
1 jar of applesauce
Bread Rolls
2 cans of corn
1 packet of noodles
Cookies
2 cans of sweet potatoes
1 box of instant potatoes
Pudding2 cans of cranberry sauce
1 box of stuffing
Brown Sugar
2 packets of brown gravy mix
1 bag of marshmallows
