Street Turkeys- Thanksgiving Food Drive!
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 9:51AM Every year on the day before Thanksgiving, hundreds make their way to the Doghouse on the corner of Mint and Morehead to drop off donations. It’s a very inspiring sight to see cars lined up dropping off checks, kids pulling wagons full of food, others carrying frozen turkeys in each hand, and volunteers from Second Harvest food bank working hard.
I’ve made this an annual event to take my daughter with me to collect food to donate to the local food bank. And as always, YOU (my customers) have responded the last few years by leaving out your donations for me to pick up.
I know it’s a hassle to drop off a donation so if you have any canned goods or frozen turkeys you want to donate, I can pick up your stuff when we visit your house and deliver it to the Doghouse for you.
I will be loading up my truck with your donations as we visit your house on either Mon, Tues, or Wed of Thanksgiving week. We can take canned goods, frozen turkeys, or checks made out to “Loaves and Fishes”. My daughter and I will drop everything off with Second Harvest Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving.
Please let me know if you can participate by calling me or sending an email so I know to look for your donation when we are at your house the week of Thanksgiving.
Thank you, and I hope you have an incredible holiday season this year.

Awesome response from my clients this year. We ended up dropping off 6 frozen turkeys and about 10 grocery bags of food. You should be very proud for coming through for our community.
THANKS
