Last week, Pre-Turkey 5K organizers presented checks to St. Vincent de Paul, the Clearinghouse and Dillsboro Food Pantry.

St. Vincent de Paul received $8,231, while the Clearinghouse and Dillsboro Food Pantry each received $4,500 donations. The funding will be used to feed families in need during the holidays.
