We need the turkeys and desserts the day before Thanksgiving - everything else we can start taking now. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  2. We are in desperate need of turkeys (34) and hams (90 lbs). Another huge need is desserts (500 servings) and beverages (500). We also still need people to volunteer 11/13 and 11/14 to pass out flyers.
