The economy has taken a toll on the Garza family. Carlos Garza makes hisliving as a landscaper, but he says with that profession he's been struggling this year to keep his family afloat.
While Carlos and his wife Nancy have looked for other jobs, they've had no luck. Which is why they say they were ecstatic to hear the Boys and Girls club was giving them a turkey for for Thanksgiving.
A grant for the Boys and Girls club made a turkey giveaway for 18 gamilies possible, but even the organization is struggling this holiday season.
Resource developer Norma Lynda Zepeda says the club doesn't always have the money to help out, which is why she need to call out to the community for help.
Zepeda says any donations help: volunteer time, turkeys, clothes, even Christmas gifts to make families like the Garza family's holidays special.
