The Turkey Round-up was a big success

A huge Thank You to all who donated a turkey to the Food Bank this year. We had a total of 65 turkeys, so 65 families will be cooking up a Thanksgiving bird today due to everyone’s generosity. 

This was 5 short of our goal but 11 more than last year, with a total weight of 935 pounds! A check for $50.00 was another generous act of gratitude. And thank you Jim and Margie Karuzas for helping.
