Event FAQ

How do I get involved?

Participating in our annual Turkey Drop is easy! All you have to do is drive up and drop off one or more frozen turkeys to Celebration Cinema North or Celebration Cinema South on Wednesday, November 15 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Monetary donations are also encouraged at meltrotter.org/give-turkey-drop.

What is the turkey goal this year?

This year, we are aiming to collect 5,000 turkeys! The more turkeys we receive, the more individuals and families will be blessed in our community.

Can I give to Turkey Drop?

Absolutely! Monetary gifts are accepted before, on or after Turkey Drop day. With every $20 donated, we are able to buy at least one turkey.

How do you use monetary donations?

The funds that help us reach our goal will be used to purchase turkeys for the Thanksgiving Community Meal. Any gifts raised above and beyond the goal will go towards feeding the guests in the winter months, as 1 in 3 families are now food insecure.
