Be part of Wilkinson Center’s Annual Turkey Basket Drive and Distribution
Give Thanks & Give Back….Family to Family
Be part of Wilkinson Center’s Annual Turkey Basket Drive and Distribution as volunteers collect and distribute Thanksgiving baskets to hundreds of families in need. Get involved in this inspiring event by donating a basket and/or distributing filled baskets to families. Wilkinson Center has a goal of distributing 500 Turkey baskets this Thanksgiving and YOU can be a huge part of helping to reach this goal!
What is in a Turkey Basket?
🧡 Basket/Container for the food. Be festive and creative!! Let the basket/container that holds the food reflect your holiday traditions. Consider using a container that is functional as well as decorative.
🧡 Canned vegetables such as: green beans, corn, peas, cranberry, etc. Gravy (jar or mix)
🧡 Boxed stuffing/dressing mix and/or boxed potato mix
🧡 Bread, Rolls and/or cornbread mix
🧡 Ingredients for making a Pumpkin or Pecan pie (no fresh or frozen pies please)
🧡 Include food items or recipe ingredients that are part of your Thanksgiving Celebration!
🧡 Optional items: festive paper plates and table ware; Thanksgiving decorations
Deadline to bring you Baskets to church is November 18th!
Since we cannot store frozen turkeys, Wilkinson has made it possible to purchase a Turkey Voucher online for your baskets. The cost is $25.00 per basket. Or, let them do the shopping for you at $75 per basket. Wilkinson Center will purchase gift check vouchers from Butterball, which can be used by the family towards a turkey, ham, and other food items to accommodate vegetarian recipients: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/TurkeyBasketDonations
Please keep this donation separate from the basket!
