"Even though we do this every year, we are asking people to love on each other, care about each other and then be a neighbor to your neighbor," said Taylor. " We are in the midst of a pandemic still, so we know we have to be safe still but also don't leave anyone alone during this holiday season – it can be depressing, and make sure you just check on somebody else."

The previous year's event provided food for more than 200 families.
