It's Turkey Drop Time!
Help make sure everyone has a hot meal to be thankful for this weekend by donating to the Ottawa Mission. I’ve made it super simple for anyone wishing to donate in a Pay What You Can kinda way. Text TURKEY to 762-555 or read more…
October 13th Update: We did it! As of this update (at 14:39), $3,282.00 has been donated to the Ottawa Mission to help ensure everyone gets a warm, nutritious meal. This ‘Turkey Drop’ will continue to give beyond Thanksgiving. I hope the feeling you got when you gave is as long-lasting.
Thank you for helping me surpass my goal in these uncertain times.
Here’s an old picture of me (five months pregnant) serving friendly faces at the Mission’s 2016 turkey dinner service. Things are being done differently this year; meals will be individually prepped and handed out in take-away boxes.
Since we can’t physically accept donations towards the dinner this year, our Turkey Drop at the station was forced to get a lil creative… I’ve been given the chance to raise $2,500 (approx. 60 bigass birds) & I need your help to make it happen.
Drop a Virtual Bird or PWYC to the Amy Volume Turkey Drop by texting TURKEY to 762-555.
You’ll be sent a link to my fundraising site which I will also conveniently post here: Amy Volume’s Virtual Turkey Drop.
