A message from Moaso Djogi Bumba : The Clark County Thanksgiving Drive-Thru is an opportunity to serve our communities by providing warm meals to anyone who makes a reservation. This is made possible by the generous donations of our local businesses. It is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27th from 4:30-6PM. Through a partnership with Marshall Area Youth Network, we were able to extend our reach with plans to serve 750 meals this year – up from 100 the first year and 500+ the second. Scan the QR code or call the # listed for more information.
