Turkey Drive
We are accepting turkeys, canned food, and monetary donations in preparation for our annual Thanksgiving Feast on Wednesday, November 23 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. We’re planning to serve over 300 meals to community members in need. The Thanksgiving dinner will include turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, pie…and all the trimmings. Approximately 900 turkeys are needed for all of the meals that will be served throughout the holiday season.
Rolf Geyling, president of the Rescue Mission, stated “We’re already expecting this to be one of our busiest Thanksgiving seasons ever. We have seen a 20% increase in emergency meals since the recession began and the need shows no sign of letting up any time soon.”
Donations may be dropped off Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the Yanonali St. office.
