In San Marcos, those in need have a place they can turn to. Bobcat Update's Kinaya Ware tells us about how two local charities will assist families during the upcoming holiday season.

It's that time of year again. The community has begun preparing to feed the less fortunate during the holidays. Different organizations are relying heavily on Texas State students to provide food and service.
The South Side Community Center is getting ready to host its annual Thanksgiving feast for the San Marcos community and surrounding areas. The center hopes to have enough help and food to serve about 25-hundred people.

The South Side Community Center is not alone in preparing for the Holidays. The Hays County Food Bank is also accepting money donations and stacking its shelves for Thanksgiving. Event coordinator Mallory Raschke says the Food Bank is preparing to stuff turkey and fill up boxes. The organization hopes to receive many more donations before the Holidays. Volunteers are still needed. If you would like to be of service, contact the South Side Community Center or the Hays County Food Bank. For Bobcat Update I'm Kinaya Ware
