CALEXICO — On Friday, November 7, 2025, the Imperial Regional Detention Facility (IRDF) partnered with the Sure Helpline Crisis Center to host its first "Drive-Thru Food Donation Drive”. The event was held at IRDF and provided those in need with food for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Each community member was given a box containing various non-perishable food items and a complete turkey meal. The non-perishable food boxes contained items donated by IRDF and Sure Helpline Crisis Center staff over the past month. The turkey meal package consisted of a turkey, stuffing, gravy, cornbread and cake mixes, macaroni and cheese, and canned green beans, carrots, corn, and cranberries. The event was a success, with a total of 56 turkey meals and 23 non-perishable food boxes distributed.
