It's the season of giving, that's exactly what some local teachers are doing to make sure area families don't go hungry on Thanksgiving.

The Wausau Education Association spent the Monday evening packing more 220 turkeys that will be donated to families in the area that are in need.

"To help families in need around the Wausau area. So we are very proud of our efforts and we are very thankful to our teachers in the Wausau School District,” explained John Masanz, WEA president.

One hundred turkeys will be donation to the Salvation Army, 100 will go to the Neighbors' Place and the remaining 20 will go to Weston Covenant Community Church for their Christmas community meal.
