PLANO – You know an event is big when a line of cars stretches around the block to get to it.
When that line extends around another block, back to the next highway exit, ahead to the following overpass and through every side street in the area, you realize the incredible enormity of Saturday morning’s Minnie’s Food Pantry’s annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner giveaway.
With more than 4,000 vehicles expected to pass through the two lines providing bags and boxes of holiday food, it was nothing short of a monumental – and joyful – effort by Minnie’s and the Dallas Mavericks, who have partnered with the nonprofit organization for years to co-host the event.
