Uvalde families prepare Thanksgiving meals for neighbors as holiday marks 6 months since tragedy

Some families of the victims spent the last few days before the holiday volunteering to prepare Thanksgiving meals for neighbors in need during an annual event called"Love Ya, Uvalde." The Garcia family, whose daughter, Ellie Garcia, was one of the victims, were among the volunteers.

The event took on special meaning as the tragedy's 6-month mark approached, serving as a brief respite from the grief that has overwhelmed much of the community since the May 24 shooting rampage. "It's hard not seeing her here. Very hard," Cazares added, looking out over the hundreds gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving.
