Round up some frozen turkeys! The AmeriCorps members serving the Texas Medical Rangers program at the Health Science Center are hosting a “Frozen Turkey Round-up” to support fellow San Antonians by providing them with a turkey for their holiday season.
The AmeriCorps members will collect the frozen turkeys at the Health Science Center Central Campus track Friday, Nov. 18 from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. They’ll later deliver them to the San Antonio Food Bank, which will prepare packages for delivery. Each turkey will be donated to a needy San Antonio family, which will give them the opportunity to enjoy the holiday season, as well.
“The San Antonio Food Bank will host its Third Annual Turkey Round-up on Nov. 19,” said Sarita Sanders, AmeriCorps member serving at the Health Science Center. “We want to make it convenient for our employees to donate; so, we’re collecting turkeys here and delivering them to the Food Bank.”
