500 Turkeys Celebrates Successful Food Drive!

500 Turkeys Food Drive SUCCESS!!!

Last Saturday volunteers stood out in front of Valpo's Town & Country and invited the community to support 500 Turkeys' effort in feeding 800 families this Thanksgiving.  The response was amazing!  Over 6100 items were collected!

Thanks to all who volunteered to make this event possible and to the many shoppers who purchased items.  The difference you make may never be fully known, but it is significant nonetheless.

Reminder: LB is collecting YAMS!  

Pick some up the next time you are at the grocery and drop them at the 500 Turkeys display!  Our goal is 200+ cans.

All 800 meals have been reserved.  A waiting list is now open.

If you are a family in need, or you know a family that you would like to bless this Thanksgiving as a result of hardship they are facing, the 500 Turkey's Nomination page is where you go (Click here).  While all meals have been reserved, there are often many that are not actually picked up.  So get your name on the waiting list and you may still get a meal!
