TURKEYS
It's not Thanksgiving without turkey! We estimate we'll need 50-60 turkeys for this year's dinner. Lots of people = lots of turkey! If you're able to donate a turkey (or two), please plan to drop it off during our drop-off window. FROZEN turkeys only, please! We are unable to accept thawed or pre-cooked turkeys.
Drop off dates & time:
Wednesday, November 15 from 12 to 8 PM
Location: Family Room (use door C) at Freshwater Community Church
Note: If you are unable to drop off your turkeys during these times, please consider donating in another way.
