• 3,000 Turkeys and Counting!

  December 15, 2011 1:04 PM

  Thank you Prince Edward Island! We have just passed the 3,000 turkey mark!! That was this year's goal to provide a turkey for every Christmas hamper across the province. But that is just an estimate. With this year's increased need, the more turkeys, the better.

  Please keep those turkeys coming!! Any extra turkeys are stored at food banks across the province and are handed out over the winter and at Easter. Islanders will continue to benefit from your generosity for months to come.

  Thanks to Sofie and Lucie Herinkova who helped us reach the 3,000 turkey mark! They wanted to donate a turkey instead of giving each other a Christmas present this year.

• Thursday thanks!

  December 15, 2011 8:35 AM

  The folks from Leon's dropped by with a donation of more than $700!

  

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Allan Campbell brought in 44 turkeys on behalf of all of the staff at Bell Aliant across P.E.I.

  Eric is a cleaner at DVA and he fundraises all year long to buy the turkeys, gathering small donations from co-workers. Merry Christmas Eric!!
