since the recession began several years ago, bay area food banks have seen the need increase but at this point those donations are not needed for demand for help. more holiday donations, turkeys hot demand. perhaps if possible when you go to buy a turkey for your dinner table, by a second one to donate. theresa garcia, abc 7 news. >> final check on weather and traffic. mike? >> we'll start with the current conditions. good morning. chilly in the valleys with 30s but up to 50 los gatos, fremont and san francisco. this afternoon we won't see the microclimates like we do in the morning. most of us mid to upper 60s. 71 santa rosa and oakland. those microclimates do return tonight with temperatures mid to upper 30s morgan hill, fairfield, napa, santa rosa. all the rest of us low to mid-40s. fremont, san mateo and san francisco upper 40s. check more of the same through the weekend with temperatures actually warmer in the
