Trot over to the Petaluma Kitchen with a Turkey Donation Today

 

Out shopping today? Pick up a frozen turkey in the supermarket for as little as $8.99 and make a needy family's holiday with your quick and easy donation. COTS and the Petaluma kitchen provide healthy food boxes to hundreds of local families each week as well as serving hundreds on the actual day of Thanksgiving in their soup kitchen lines.

The soup kitchen distributes their tremendous Thanksgiving holiday meal boxes to homes around town this Saturday morning, so any turkey donations must be dropped at the kitchen at 301 Payran Street, Petaluma, CA 94952 (707-778-6380) this Friday afternoon (November 20th) by 2:30pm.Thanks to fellow P'Town bloggers Mel at Mouse in the Pantry via Frank at Petaluma Spectator for the heads up on this immediate need.

While on the subject of the big bird, Petaluma Chapter of Realtors are distributing baskets with fabulous fixings for 28 complete Thanksgiving Dinners to selected neighborhood recipient families, an additional 27 turkeys to Petaluma People Services and a further 20 birds to PEP Housing for low income seniors.

Thanks to the support of Petaluma's Safeway, Lucky and Raley's stores this is the 2nd annual Chapter of Realtors' Thanksgiving Turkey Donation Program, with most of the distribution taking place Friday afternoon at the Visitor's Center. 

"Raleys also runs a donation drive for COTS providing food with a $20.00 dollar value for each $10.00 donated by customers," says Scott Newman, VP of the Petaluma Chapter of Realtors (pictured above in action at today's Turkey donation). "In addition to the store's $1,000.00 worth of turkeys to COTS for the holidays."

That's a bargain turkey, organic, free range birds here run around $30 to $40 - though that is still a lot cheaper than the East Anglian farm raised you are talking about. Oh well, we British birds are a quality bunch!
