KSL Today team joins local groups for Thanksgiving giveaways

RIVERTON, Utah — Following Thursday’s morning show, the KSL Today team joined the Stansbury Hope Squad and local nonprofit Let’s Love Hard to give away some pies and gift cards.

“We still have plenty of time for the rest of thanksgiving to be with family and friends but this is just a great way to start the day and really celebrate what the holiday is all about,” said Josh Downs.

Last year, Downs said he was in a bad place around this time last year, he and decided to give back to his community.

So he took pies around to people working at gas stations on Thanksgiving.

Downs says from there it’s just grown, and this year, at least 100 people joined in giving out pies.

The nonprofit has other events planned as we approach Christmas. You can learn more at letslovehard.org.
