Project Turkey 2023

Being unable to afford a turkey for one's family on Thanksgiving is a painful experience, and an all-too-common reality for America's hungry, 50% of whom are children. Project Turkey aims to rectify this situation. By choosing one of New York City's largest food pantries serving some of NYC's hardest-hit neighborhoods (BedStuy/Brownsville/East New York), we strive to provide enough turkeys this Thanksgiving so that no one is turned away hungry from The Campaign Against Hunger, a 501-c-3 that feeds hundreds of families each day.

To accomplish this, we aim to purchase at least 1,000 turkeys. We need to raise at least $15,000 by November to buy 1,000 turkeys (at a cost of roughly $15 each). As always, 100% of money received by the Campaign will be used for turkeys, and 0% will be used for overhead. Thanks to your help, we have raised over $120,000 over the last five years alone.

COVID has been devastating for New York’s Hungry. More than ever, the food demand skyrocketed, bringing in a flood of new people who had never visited a food pantry before (40% of recipients last year had never visited a food pantry before). Last year alone, the Campaign Against Hunger served 330,000 families and distributed 8.6 million meals, while building over 250 partners to help with distribution.

And now, Thanksgiving is looming.

If you would consider donating just $15, it would make one family very happy.
