Event:

Turkey and a Twenty

Date:

November 14th, 2009.

Team Community CARES in partnership with Windsor Public Library, Wilson Branch will hold a "Turkey and a Twenty" drive on Saturday, November 14, 2009, 1-3 p.m. at the Windsor Public Library, Wilson Branch, 365 Windsor Avenue, Windsor, CT 06905 in support of Foodshare's Annual Thanksgiving Drive.

The group will be collecting turkeys and $20 donations to help the organization feed some 100,000 people throughout Hartford and Tolland Counties.
"With the overwhelming success of last year's Thanksgiving efforts, we are once again inviting smaller groups to participate in our 'Turkey and a Twenty' drive," says Gloria McAdam, Foodshare President & CEO. She encourages neighborhoods, condo associations, smaller employers and even book groups to form a Turkey Team.

This Thanksgiving, thousands of area families have asked for help putting a traditional meal on the table. All those turkeys and donations must be collected by November 14th. With the recent economic turmoil, Foodshare, the heart of greater Hartford's hunger-fighting network, needs more turkeys and donations than in previous years to fulfill these requests.

Foodshare's "Turkey and a Twenty" drive also seeks to raise funds to continue distributing food this winter, long after the holidays are over. Every $20 gift allows Foodshare to provide another 20 days worth of food for one of the 40,000 children in our area at risk of hunger.

To learn more about how your group of friends, relations and colleagues can hold a food drive, go to www.Foodshare.org where you'll find tips and tools on forming your own team. Or call 860-286-9999 for more information. This year we can work together to make sure that everyone has a prosperous Thanksgiving.
