火鸡送温情 2020 Denver Rescue Mission Turkey Drive 2020

从2016年开始，我们每逢感恩节就举办火鸡送温情的活动，从第一年的几十只火鸡，每年募集到的火鸡越来越多，到了最近几年每一次都是几百只的火鸡。每一只火鸡，每一盘热腾腾的感恩大餐都代表这科州华人同舟共济，雪中送炭的温情。大家不分你我，不问原因，只想为自己的社区出一份力，让多一个人，多一个家庭多一些温暖，多一些欢声笑语，为着同一个目标而努力，每一次看到那一车车，一箱箱的火鸡，心里除了感动外，还是感动。今年由于疫情，为了不要增加超市工作人员额外的负担，我们决定直接捐款给流浪者之家，让他们为因为疫情而散布在四处的流浪者和往年一样送上寒冬中的温暖和希望。捐款多少不拘，代表的只是一份心意。由于丹佛流浪者之家是慈善机构，GoFundMe只会收取每一单2.9%加$0.30的信用卡处理费，但不会收取原本5%的手续费，全部款项会直接拨发给流浪者之家，让大家捐出的每一分每一毫都能够用在需要的地方。在这里再次感谢大家一直以来的踊跃参与，让自己为身为科州华人社区的一份子为荣。

Since 2016, many friends from the Colorado Chinese community have came together to raise fund for the Denver Rescue Mission Turkey Drive. We may not know each other, or ever meet the people in need in the shelters, but we all share a common goal of contributing back to the community we love and helping each other. Every year, I cannot control my emotion when we delivered truckload of turkeys to the Drive. It is the love from each one in the Chinese community, one turkey at a time, bring a little light amid the darkness and hope amid desperation. Due to the pandemic, not to add extra burden to the workers at the grocery stores, we decide to raise fund directly for the Denver Rescue Mission, with the same goal in mind.  Please note GoFundMe will only take out the credit card fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 for each transaction, but the rest will directly send to Denver Rescue Mission， waiving the regular 5% processing fee. Thank you for your participation.
