Each year, the Poverello Center in
Wilton Manors, Fla., organizes a “Turkey Hunt” fundraiser intended to provide
Thanksgiving dinners to the families of HIV/AIDS patients. The center supports
these same families throughout the year with the proceeds from sales through their
thrift stores. According to Fundraising Director Jim O’Hay, the center assists
between 2,000 and 3,000 families per month.
A donation of $14.57 will fund a
complete Thanksgiving dinner of a 10-lb. turkey with all of the trimmings and
traditional side dishes for a family of four to six individuals. A donation of
$29.14 will provide two dinners, and $43.71 will provide three dinners.
Credit card donations can be made by
visiting Poverello.org or by calling (954) 561-3663. Donations can also be made
by a check payable to The Poverello Center Inc., which can be mailed or
hand-delivered to the center’s thrift store at 2056 N. Dixie Highway, Wilton
Manors, Fla., 33305.
