St. Mary's needs your help ahead of Thanksgiving

St. Mary's Food Bank need your help to feed 24,000 Arizona families this Thanksgiving. And they still need over 13,000 turkeys to meet their holiday goal. Irene Snyder has more on how you can help. Hey guys, we are talking all about Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away at this point and St. Mary's Food Bank is working to get more turkeys for those families who need it this holiday season. We have, first of all, we're going to talk to Jerry Brown with St. Mary's Food Bank. Okay, tell us about all the turkeys that you need right now. Right, we're expecting to distribute about 21,000 turkeys this year. We're still 11,000 turkeys short of our goal. That's why we really appreciate organizations like EPCOR stepping up with a donation of 500 turkeys today. And tell us about that donation I see right now. That'll provide a It's $12,500, and it'll provide 500 of the turkeys. It'll get us closer to our goal, but we still need people to come out and donate turkeys. Thanksgiving is almost two weeks away. So even with those 500 turkeys, you still need 11,000 more turkeys? This will put us under 11,000, so about 10,500 turkeys short of our goal. You can come to any food bank location, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., come on down, or go to our big Super Saturday Turkey Drive on the 21st of November. And we have Sean with EPCOR. Tell us about why you guys decided to donate these turkeys. St. Mary's is a great organization, and we're more than happy to sponsor. Yeah. And then is this something you do every year? Is this the first time you're doing something like this? No. I mean, one of our beliefs is communities count on us. So we need to count on each other. And it's clearly a community in need. So partnering with St. Mary's Food Bank makes the most sense in the world for us. Wonderful. Thank you so much for your donation and for all that you do. We appreciate it in the community. Again, they still need a lot more turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving in just a couple of weeks. And where can people donate, Jerry? You can go to St. Mary's Food Bank or you can go to our website at stmarysfoodbank.org. A $25 donation will put a complete Thanksgiving meal with the turkey on the table for a family who needs it. Thank you both so much for your time. We will send it back to you guys.
