United Steelworker Local 7687 Rapid Response Committee held their 2nd annual Turkey Drive November 18, 2015 to collect turkeys to donate to Our Daily Bread soup kitchen in down town York, PA.
The team collected 39 turkeys [25 more than last year] totaling over 600 lbs. According to Our Daily Bread, they can feed around 50 people per turkey by making soups and pot pie. So that is around 1950 hungry people that will get a hot and healthy meal.
Special thanks go to William Peene Rapid Response Chairman for orchestrating the pick-up and delivery of the donations.
