Since 2014, ABC 27 & the Second Harvest have teamed up to collect frozen turkeys and monetary donations for Thanksgiving meals. Even though the government shutdown is over, as we know, many people didn’t receive their SNAP benefits for November, and Thanksgiving is soon approaching. The need for donations is more dire than ever. Nearly 3 million Floridians depend on food assistance, including 33,000 in Leon County alone.
Our goal is to collect 1,000 turkeys and raise $50,000 in monetary donations.
Online donations are being accepted right now, with the Turkey Drop off on Thursday, November 20th.
Turkeys can be dropped off from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at two locations: Bannerman Crossing (just look for the signs) or Ponce de Leon Park in Tallahassee.

The Thanksgiving Distribution will be held on Saturday, November 22nd, at Governor’s Square Mall beginning at 7:00 a.m.
