HARWICH – The Family Pantry of Cape Cod will be holding its annual Turkey Day event next month.
They are looking to distribute 400 full dinners to its clients for the Thanksgiving holiday. Executive Director Christine Menard said the pantry is gladly accepting donations from local residents.
“This year we’re looking for turkeys, and we’re also hoping to offer a pie to every family,” Menard said.
“So, if someone wants to donate a frozen pie, that would be really nice as well.”
Additional turkeys will be provided by the pantry during the event, which is November 24. The pantry has established a goal of collecting 600 turkeys to be distributed.
Menard said she and the volunteers of the pantry enjoy giving families the joy of a holiday meal.
“It’s just a day that we really look forward to, because it’s a lot of fun,” she continued.
“It’s fast paced; we do those 600 turkeys in about three hours.”
Donations may be dropped off at the pantry’s location at 133 Queen Anne Road in Harwich until November 15. The pantry has asked for medium-sized turkeys.
Meals will only be given to pantry clients. The registration deadline to become a client is November 22.
