It’s turkey time! Join us for our annual Turkey Drive and help us put a turkey on every table, providing a hearty Thanksgiving meal for thousands of Colorado families and individuals in need, and providing critically needed meals throughout the holiday season.
Every turkey donated brings hope, dignity and an opportunity to connect for guests, program participants, and more. This year, your generosity will make an even greater impact. Let’s come together to ensure that no one goes hungry this holiday season.
15,000 Turkeys Can Help Change Lives
How can a turkey change a life? When you donate a turkey, you’re providing more than just food. You’re helping us provide stability and hope at the most difficult time in someone’s life.
This fall, thousands of people in need will come to our doors seeking shelter, feeling hungry and hopeless and desperately looking for help. Thousands more will wonder how they can provide daily meals—let alone a Thanksgiving celebration—for their families and still pay the bills to keep from becoming homeless.
But your generosity can change that.
We’ll take your turkey donation and turn it around to provide:
- 3,000 Thanksgiving Banquet-in-a-Box meals, including a turkey and all the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner
- Thousands of meals all holiday season long in our shelters and life-changing programs
We also supply turkey for 140 additional churches, schools and non-profit organizations who host their own banquets and turkey distribution events during the holiday season, bringing Thanksgiving into the homes of countless neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.
