500 Turkeys mission is to Feed Families Food & Faith. With help from the community and God we have been able to provide an entire meal at Thanksgiving to an estimated 48,000 people since 2009. This year we are planning to serve at least 1500 more families. That’s about 6000+ people. Turkeypalooza will help us accomplish the mission. All proceeds from this event will help us feed these families.

500 Turkeys,Inc 2019 sponsors include Valparaiso Nazarene Church, Bounce N Around, South Haven Christian Church, Cyber Blue, Life Bridge Christian Church, InHealth, McDonald’s, SHINE.FM & Boy Scout pack 920. We have many supporters and faithful contributors to the cause.

Food drop off is a fun event where all 40,000 (estimated) collected food items get dropped off, sorted and counted.  The community collects the food.  If our counts are short, we will collect those items at the food drive on the following week.  You can sign up to volunteer but if it is full, put yourself on the waiting list incase someone cancels.  Go to 500turkeys.com/volunteer to do that.
