Turkey Truck 2010!

A custom in my parish is the annual appearance outside our church of the Turkey Trucks on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Parishioners are encouraged to bring a turkey to Mass and the collected birds are then delivered to two programs which supply them to people in need on Thanksgiving.

In addition to "in house" advertising for this event, our young folks are out in force with signs letting drivers-by know what's going on.  A number of such folks see the teens and their signs and detour to a local supermarket open to pick up a Tom to bring back.  This year over 200 turkeys were collected which, to my recollection, is a record catch!

Above are just some of the young people who worked on this project.  It's a joy to know that their work will be a blessing upon the tables of many families this Thursday morning.
