You’re invited to our annual Share Your Holiday Turkey Drive
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - There's less than 24 hours left until our annual Share Your Holiday Turkey Drive happening Friday!
The Turkey Drive is a one-day food drive to provide meals for families in need who can't afford them this holiday season.
All of the proceeds go to the Crossroads Mission for their Three Days of Thanksgiving event. The mission shares what their turkey goals is and what items they need.
"1,000 turkeys and nonperishable food items...also eggs, milk, butter," said Crossroads Public Relations Director Sassa Culver.
The month of November is also Mission Month.
"Mission month we have a goal of raising 100,000 pounds of food and $100,000," said Culver.
The mission says thank you to the Yuma community for what they do to help Crossroads all year long.
"We can't do it without the community, and every year the community pulls through for us," said Crossroads CEO Myra Garlit.
They say it's such a special feeling when they get to help out.
"When we are feeding the community over the three days of Thanksgiving, just the gratefulness and the warmth that we feel from the people that we're serving it's amazing! It's so rewarding," said Culver.
We will be collecting all these items at all Walmart locations in Yuma and the Foothills this Friday, November 14, from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. We hope to see you there!
