Second Harvest - Turkey Dinner For Christmas
Christmas isn’t far away now and I’m sure a lot of you are making plans for Christmas dinner. This year you might want to help provide some food for those that can’t afford a turkey dinner. Second Harvest is an organization that helps feed hungry people by picking up and preparing excess fresh food and delivering it daily to social service agencies in Toronto.
This weekend and next is Second Harvest’s 6th annual turkey drive. Second Harvest volunteers will be at local grocery stores collecting donations and turkeys. Those that would like to donate can simply buy a turkey at the grocery store and hand it to the Second Harvest volunteer. There is no need to drive anywhere else and lug a turkey around town.
If you live in the Toronto area and would like to donate or volunteer you can get more information at Second Harvest’s website. www.secondharvest.ca
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for posting our Turkey Drive.
Our current tally is just 1,834 turkeys and our goal is 5,000. So we have a lot of catching up to do this weekend!
Thanks again for the mention,
TK
I wish there is such an organization on my area. Turkey drive such bring happiness to those poor people.
The Second Harvest Turkey Drive collected 4,710 turkeys over the two weekends, so they fell short by 290. They’ve extended the drive by collecting donations on their web site that will go toward buying more turkeys. If you’d like to donate, please go to: http://www.secondharvest.ca/. Thank you so much!
Generous donations made between Sunday and today made up for the missing 290 turkeys. Thank you everyone!
Truly wonderful
Turkey dinner- smells guuuddddd…
we need to increase the number of such organizations.
I think we need to serve more and more to such kind of social service agencies.
I like the idea of this service. So much food gets wasted over the holidays at parties and other events. And yet, in other places, people are going hungry. It’s good to see that there are organizations devoted to taking the excess food from where it is not being eaten, and preparing and delivering it to places where people will appreciate it.
Wow!
It’s truly a wonderful post about Turket dinner.
Well, earlier I didn’t have any idea about Second Harvest.
They do a tremendous job, undoubtly.
