Turkey Hunters Care

2010 Turkey Hunters Care donations: 19,932

Since 2001, NWTF chapters throughout North America have helped ensure a happy holiday season for their neighbors through the Turkey Hunters Care program. The program is about brightening the holidays for others. NWTF chapters across the country provide frozen, domestic turkeys to less fortunate families in their communities.

2010 was another incredible year for the program as dedicated NWTF members continued to help others during the holidays. Chapters in 40 states and Ontario provided 19,932 frozen turkeys for their neighbors. The generous donations of turkeys, accompanied in many cases with stuffing mix, potatoes, bread and dessert to complete the holiday meals, provided over 114,000 meals for the recipients.

To date, 133,536 turkeys have been donated nationwide to families in need since Turkey Hunters Care began. These selfless contributions by NWTF volunteers have resulted in 801,216 meals for hungry individuals in communities all over North America.

These impressive numbers are another shining example of NWTF volunteers proving that although the NWTF's mission is to conserve the wild turkey and preserve our hunting heritage; in many cases the NWTF is about even more. NWTF volunteers recognize that just as the NWTF presence is felt by wildlife in the woods and fields, it can also be felt by people in the surrounding community.

The gratefulness of families receiving this gift is seen in their eyes and felt in the heart. Become a part of this community service by joining the NWTF, and you'll also help ensure the future of conservation, hunting and the wild turkey.

For another successful season within the NWTF's Turkey Hunters Care program, thank you to all who participated.
