2013 Operation Turkey Trot Austin
This Thanksgiving thousands of homeless and needy people in Austin will receive clothing and other needed items including Thanksgiving Dinner because of the loving efforts of 2013 Operation Turkey Trot Austin.
Relying solely on Austin’s community of volunteers each year, Operation Turkey Trot helps others in need. “It’s a simple way of giving back to the town we love, an effort that makes a real difference, and a tremendously rewarding way to share the spirit of Thanksgiving.”
Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to help cook, prepare, package, sort donations and deliver dinners around town…
“We ask that you come out on Thanksgiving morning to help cook, package, and deliver food to homeless and those in need. You are always able to select what you would like to do. Some people love to cook, but not deliver. Others want to deliver only. It’s all good! Any time and help you can offer Operation Turkey is greatly appreciated.
Please plan to show up between 8:15 and 8:30 am. Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toed shoes for walking safety. Kids are welcome and encouraged to come out with parents or guardians. We also have special programs that enlist the help of the younger members of your family. They will get to share the great Operation Turkey experience with you, and it will help open their young eyes to the importance of giving back to their communities.”
