Thank You to our latest Donor
Turkeys & More was excited to receive a donation of $1,500 recently from the Coeur d’Alene Aerie 486 Eagles to help pay for Thanksgiving turkeys. A celebration Thank You was given at the Eagles by Turkey president Nancy Nelson Walz. She said plans are to buy 2000 turkeys again this year to serve local families who are financially stressed. She anticipates around 10,000 people will be able to enjoy a holiday dinner in their home because of the wonderful support and donations from the Eagles and others in the community that want to help. Founder Evalyn Adams expressed her gratitude to the Eagles who have contributed turkey money for the last seven years for a grand total of $7,000.

Thank You to our latest Diamond Donor
Washington Trust Bank Granted $5,000 late in 2023 to Turkeys & More making them a Diamond Donor. The organization was delighted to finally arrange the thank you picture during Valentine’s month as we celebrate and honor the love, we all share for our community. The non-profit had a very successful distribution of 2000 turkeys before last Thanksgiving. Turkeys were donated to twenty food banks throughout Kootenai County and delivered by the Coeur Group, a significant supporter for many years. Turkeys & More thanks all past donors who helped make this a more joyous event. Over 10,000 of our less fortunate friends and neighbors enjoyed a traditional holiday dinner in their homes last November.

“Thank you for all you do this time of year” … TOPS Club, Hayden Chapter
“Thank you for your kind card and note about our possible “error of generosity.”.. You actually are correct as I don’t do a great job of tracking until we get closer to the end of the year. Someone from the Turkey committee spoke at Kiwanis and motivated me to give (again.). We are totally good with the extra donation as we know food insecurity is so real in our area, and we feel so blessed to be able to help out. Thank you for your time and commitment to this great cause.” Anonymous
