"We enjoy just sharing the love and giving to people what they need," Jamie Jalil, interim executive director of Be Filled, said. "We know that prices are really high right now and it's difficult to purchase food let alone holiday meals, which are more expensive anyway. So this just really helps them not to worry about their Christmas meal"
Be Filled doesn't just help during the holiday season with meals. They also have other essentials like clothing available year-round.
