Northwest Harvest received a delivery of 750 donated turkeys, approximately 13,500 pounds, from Foster Farms on Wednesday.
The turkeys will be distributed in the coming weeks to Northwest Harvest partner agencies to help feed Washington families this Thanksgiving.
According to the USDA, Washington ranks 23rd in food insecurity. Northwest Harvest reports turkey donations are low this year, and the Kent agency hopes that Foster Farms’ donation will help encourage other companies and the community to join in providing turkeys to help families in need enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
