SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Mission distributed boxes of Christmas food to over 200 people Monday as part of the mission’s annual food box giveaway.
While it was scheduled to start at 11 a.m., Shaun Clay, the mission’s executive director, said people began lining up as early as 9 a.m. to receive this year’s Christmas meal essentials.
“When people line up early, we start early. Because we’ve had it go all the way out to Redwood Road and go all the way down to California (Avenue),” Clay said.
“We are really just being so thankful to bless people with Christmas dinner. In these boxes, there’s hams or turkeys, stuffing, canned vegetables, cranberries, pies; everything you need for Christmas dinner is in these boxes, and then some,” he continued. “We’re just glad to fill the gaps in our community.”…
