YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A local non-profit is short on their goal to feed the Yuma community for the upcoming holidays.
Crossroads Mission’s goal was to collect 1,000 turkeys for last week’s Turkey Drive, but fell short.
“382 turkeys at the event but we also collected almost $3,000. We are going to be using that money to purchase additional 166 turkeys,” said Sassa Culver, Crossroads Mission Public Relations Director.
Last week’s Turkey Drive is part of the Crossroad’s Mission Month. Their goal is to raise $100,000 and 100,000 pounds of food to feed people in need during the holidays.
“Mission Month is important so that we are able to feed the community for the three days of Thanksgiving which is going to be the 25th, 26th, and 27th,” said Culver.
If you would like to donate, you can bring turkeys and any food items to the Crossroads Mission located on Arizona Avenue and 10th Street.
