Community Assistance Program (CAP) volunteers busily added last minute ham and celery to Thanksgiving baskets on November 22 before distributing the meal kits later that day behind Cost Cutter. The baskets served 1,251 community members – 845 adults and 406 children – in the Blaine, Birch Bay and Custer community, Thanksgiving basket program director Shirley Tobian said.
