Collected Food Drop Off @ Valparaiso Nazarene Church Door #4
Nov 7 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

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.
