Feed a family in need this Thanksgiving by donating to the Salvation Army’s 22nd annual Carson City Turkey Drop on Friday, Nov. 22 at Max Casino, 900 S. Carson Street.

Salvation Army volunteers will be collecting turkeys to fill holiday food baskets for families in need in the Carson City, Douglas County and the surrounding communities. Each year hundreds of needy families depend on The Salvation Army’s Turkey Drop to provide for their Thanksgiving dinner.

The event is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with broadcast updates by KKFT 99.1. Those who wish to help can bring frozen turkeys to the Turkey Drop or cash donations can be made so The Salvation Army can buy turkeys.

If you are unable to bring a turkey donations can be made by credit card by calling The Salvation Army at 775-350-5190 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on the day of the Turkey Drop. Checks can be mailed to The Salvation Army, 911 E. 2nd St. Carson City, NV 89701. To make a credit card donation online go to carsonturkeydrop.org
