Thankful Turkeys Help the Homeless

Donation protected
The Covid pandemic has disrupted many traditions this year, including Thankful Turkeys’ 30+ years of making and distributing meals to the homeless. Regrettably, we will not be getting together this year.

The need, however, is more acutely felt than ever before. While we will miss the camaraderie of getting together and making meals (“more veggies”, “4 ounces of turkey per serving”, “more potatoes”, “hey, where are the veggies??”), we continue to seek ways to make a difference and help those in need.


We canvassed several food pantries and missions and the message came back loud and clear: while food, toiletries and clothing are helpful, money is more essential.


This year, we ask that you donate to our Thankful Turkeys gofundme instead. Yes, it wont be the same. However, the money raised will be split among these organizations:

 •  NYC Rescue Mission** 

 •  Church of the Holy Apostles

 •  Food Bank for NYC

 •  City Meals

 •  Stockholm Family Shelter (map)


**(NYC Rescue Mission has joined forces with Bowery Mission & Goodwill Rescue)

We ask two favors:

1. Donate (of course!)
2. Use your social media accounts to spread the word and hopefully drive up donations and awareness.

We will still make a difference this year, just in a different way!

If you have the time and would like to volunteer to help feed the homeless and needy during Thanksgiving week or any time over the holidays, you can click on the link below and schedule a time to show up at the Church of the Holy Apostles in New York City.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
