Calling
all turkeys! We need help to provide 1,000 frozen turkeys with all the fixin's to 1,000 local
families in need so they can prepare their own Thanksgiving feasts.
That's right ... our Great Turkey Countdown is here!
You can drop off frozen turkeys and other related nonperishables like
canned fruits and vegetables, boxed potatoes, stuffing mix, gravy
etc., at our Common Things Thrift Store, 321 Indian Trail
Road North, Indian Trail, Tues.-Sat. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you have a lot to donate and/or 10 or more
turkeys to donate, email CommonHeart@CommonHeart.org
to make an appointment for drop off at our Common Cupboard food
pantry.
Cash
donations are also needed! Every $20 raised buys a turkey and
some of the fixin's. To
donate online, visit http://Turkeys.CommonHeart.org.
And don't forget about volunteering! Hundreds
of volunteers will be needed at our Common Cupboard food pantry, on Saturday,
Nov. 21 from 6:30 a.m. to Noon to
pack and
deliver
the 1,000 Thanksgiving dinner baskets. Sign up online
at http://Turkeys.CommonHeart.org.

This
all-hands-on-deck volunteer event is the Cupboard's biggest delivery
day. Seven
years ago, when we started, we gave away just over 100 Thanksgiving
baskets. Last year – thanks to the community's generosity – we
surpassed our goal and delivered 840 baskets to local families in
need. This
year, we hope that we can serve at least 1,000 families.
The Countdown started in 2007. Today,
the tradition continues at Facebook.com/TheCommonHeart.
