Thanksgiving Turkey Drive on 117th Street Pleasant Avenue
We are a brand that cares about the community as much as our products. Our community had given us so much when we were just a small concept in the name of a brand, that now when we started, we had to give back.
We are grateful for all the love and support we have got from our friends, family and the community. Our 3rd community event had to be a Thanksgiving Turkey Drive.
The idea behind this drive was; we wanted to help as many families as possible to make a good thanksgiving dinner with a turkey. No home should celebrate Thanksgiving with dinner without turkey. We decided to host a Thanksgiving Turkey Drive with this thought in our minds.
We hosted our Thanksgiving Turkey Drive on 117th Pleasant Avenue on the XYZ date. It was a crazy ride getting this drive set up. The first time our set-up took longer than the drive itself :D.
We made a gofundme page to raise money for the drive. We reached our target in just a few days. We are grateful to all that donated to this drive and made it possible.
We went to the store to buy turkeys on the drive day, but the store didn't allow one person to buy more than five turkeys. Our volunteers had to go back and forth to procure the turkeys. It was such a challenging experience.
After around 2 hours of this struggle, we managed to get 35-40 turkeys. We set up our small table on the street, and in literally a few minutes, there was a massive queue of people lining up. It was our fastest drive yet; we were sold out in just 3-5 minutes.
But, each person thanked us and appreciated our efforts to give them such a special dinner this Thanksgiving. It's like when Charles Dickens said, "It's not how much we give but how much we put into giving."
