Donations were given by faculty, staff, and students on campus.

Organizers say it’s the perfect time of year to help others.

“This is a chance to reach out to our community, thank our community for being part of the W, and just to say thank you and share our blessings with them,” said MUW Staff Council President Tyler Wheat.
“The first year this was wonderful too! It really was a surprise, but all this…I’m trying not to cry,” said recipient Delinda Boler.

This is the eighth year the Staff Council has given away Thanksgiving baskets.
