On Tuesday, November 24th, One80 Place will host “Turkey and a $20,” an all-day donation drive to stock the Bakker Family Donation Center. The facility will be open from 7 am unti 4 pm.

Since most people only have enough time to quickly drop off items, One80 Place has created a fun and festive experience for donors that accounts for that fact. As they drive through the facility grounds, donors will be greeted by a pep rally-like atmosphere, local personalities, and on-the-go refreshments.

Although the event’s name is “Turkey and a $20,” donors are invited to bring any of the following: monetary gifts of any amount, other proteins (ham, beef, pork, etc.), non-perishables, canned goods, and personal items.
