From children and their parents to elderly couples, House of Hope has a list of 360 families who are eligible and in need of help this holiday season. These households frequently come to the agency’s pantries for fresh produce, baked goods, dry ingredients, canned foods, frozen meat and more- but this November they’re missing one key ingredient: Turkeys.
The clock is ticking on Thanksgiving, and House of Hope has a long way to go to round up hundreds of turkeys for Martin County families in need. House of Hope has the staples for a holiday meal, but the nonprofit is looking to the community for a turkey for each family.
Donors may bring fresh or frozen turkeys to any House of Hope location throughout Martin County, particularly the food distribution center at the agency’s main office in Stuart. A special arrangement has been made to allow House of Hope to purchase more turkeys at wholesale prices, so monetary donations are also welcome.
