Join our Turkey Tuesday drive to bring Thanksgiving to every table!
Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a Turkey!
Unfortunately, for many of our neighbors rising living costs may make a full holiday meal, with all the fixings, out of reach. In Arizona alone, over 900,000 people face food insecurity, meaning they don't have access to enough food to meet their needs. And worse yet, more than 200,000 of them are children.
To address this need, 12News is partnering with AJ's Fine Foods, Bashas’ and Food City for the annual Turkey Tuesday drive benefitting St. Vincent de Paul. Together we're working to ensure every family has the chance to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal, regardless of their circumstance.
What better way to meet the increased need than with the largest one-day turkey drive in the nation! This year, Turkey Tuesday is on Nov. 26.
The best part is that Turkey Tuesday is a community effort all month long! Just $20 will provide a turkey for a local family in need, and $50 buys a holiday food box for a family with a turkey and all the sides and fixings. Join Turkey Tuesday to help keep the turkey tradition alive for families who might otherwise go without!
