Starbucks
For participating Spokane area Starbucks, when you purchase your hot drink of choice, it will come with a sleeve featuring a KREM2 QR code for Tom’s Turkey Drive. Using the camera on your phone, scanning this code will take you to a donation page for Tom’s Turkey Drive where just a $20 donation can cover the cost of a local family’s full Thanksgiving dinner. You can make donations this way leading up to the event kick-off on November 23rd. Go get yourself a sweet treat and help a local family gather around a full table this year!

Volunteers Needed
Our Pasco Distribution Center could really use your help getting Thanksgiving meal boxes ready for distribution. Gather a group of friends, family, or coworkers and help make this special event possible. Log into VolunteerHub and register for one of the “Turkey Prep” events on November 19th or 21st.
