Last week, the Lede spoke with Deann Servos, executive director of Prodisee Pantry, the largest food bank in Baldwin County for the Sunday Q&A. Servos discussed what might be a surprising amount of food insecurity in Baldwin County, the fastest growing county in Alabama, and how readers can help out around the holidays.

Here are five takeaways from that conversation, in no particular order:

1. There is plenty of food available for Thanksgiving.

Servos said that volunteers filled 1,404 Thanksgiving feast boxes that will be paired with turkey or another holiday meat. That’s almost 200 more boxes than they made last year.

“Some people go, ‘well, it’s just a turkey.’ But if you are struggling and your kids come home, and they’ve drawn turkeys in school, they talk about Thanksgiving or they see it on TV—that Norman Rockwell dinner that’s so advertised everywhere— it doesn’t make you feel good if you can’t help your family have that,” she says.
