At the 2017 Turkey & a $20 drive, One80 Place collected 520 turkeys, which served about 4,100 meals over the course of the year. The event raised $40,000. The money raised goes toward providing supportive services for the guests of the shelter with the focus of getting individuals housed quickly. Support services include health care, legal services, case management, employment training and placement, housing services, and Veterans services.
