Let’s talk turkey! Great Turkey Countdown is here!

Bins full of cranberry sauce in our pantry warehouse can only mean one thing … The Great Turkey Countdown is here!! This year’s goal is to collect 2,006 turkeys to feed 2,006 families!

Can you help? Donate at Turkeys.CommonHeart.org 

Your $50 donation provides a frozen turkey and the fixin’s for one family.

Your generosity helps neighbors like Beth, who recently came to Common Heart for an emergency food box.

After 16 years with the same company, she lost her job more than a year ago. Despite applying to hundreds of jobs, she’s still searching.

As someone who spent years helping others in our community, asking for help herself was difficult.

“I should have come in sooner, but I just kept thinking I’d get a job,” she said through tears. “When I was working, my company would volunteer at food pantries, and it always made me feel good. But I never truly understood the impact. I do now.”

Your gift will help neighbors like Beth feel the same care and kindness she once gave to others.

Along with turkeys, we’re also collecting nonperishable sides to go along with those turkeys (see details below) and volunteers to deliver the turkey baskets on Saturday, Nov. 21. Driver registration is NOW OPEN!

Let’s bring hope — and turkey — to every table this Thanksgiving!

Serving together,
