2000 Turkeys campaign continues

Thanksgiving is fast approaching – it’s less than a month away – and the 2000 Turkeys campaign to provide a holiday meal for local families in need is in high gear.
The annual goal is to raise $100,000 in order to help the Greater Washington County Food Bank distribute Thanksgiving dinners and holiday meals to more than 5,500 food-insecure families in Washington County. Thanks to the efforts of local businesses, organizations and individuals, 2000 Turkeys is well on its way.
We’re thankful for organizations like the Canonsburg Senior Citizens Center, which raffled off a cleaning supplies basket and donated the $200 in proceeds to 2000 Turkeys; Bentworth Education Association, which took up a collection on behalf of 2000 Turkeys; the Monongahela Farmers Market, which made a generous contribution; and the individuals who open up their checkbooks to send in donations small and large.
The willingness of Washington County residents to make a difference in the lives of their less fortunate neighbors embodies the spirit of the holiday season.
If you’d like to donate to the 2000 Turkeys campaign, please mail your tax-deductible donation, payable to “2000 Turkeys,” to 2000 Turkeys, P.O. Box 2000, Washington, Pa., 15301. Or, drop off your donation at the Observer-Reporter office, 122 South Main St., Washington, or WJPA Radio, 98 S. Main St., next door to the Observer-Reporter.
