In the Imperial Valley, the community donated a total of 263 turkeys and enough food for 45 complete meals!

In Yuma, we collected a total of 1,176 turkeys, including the ones bought with the money that was donated. The goal was 1,200 turkeys, so we were very close and we did surpass last year’s total of 11 hundred!

Thank you to everyone who came out and donated. Your generosity makes a world of difference for hundreds of hungry people!

The Crossroads Mission will be using the donations from the Yuma food drive to provide meals this week.

Tuesday, November 24 is Mexican night, Wednesday November 25 is pot roast night, and Thanksgiving day is the traditional Thanksgiving meal with Turkey, mashed potatoes and all the fixings.

The meals will be served at the Crossroads Mission Men's Shelter located at 944 S. Arizona Avenue from 11 am to 1 pm each day.

If you're interested in volunteering your time to serve meals, you're encouraged to bring desserts and arrive at 10 am.
