Turkeys rally for food banks

Volunteers for Tom’s Turkey drive sold 491 dinner bags Friday and Saturday during the campaign at Rosauers. A truck from Colfax Food Pantry traveled to Second Harvest in Spokane to receive turkeys and other ingredients for the Thanksgiving meals. The dinners were set to be distributed by Colfax Food Pantry Wednesday. Sales for the 491 donated bags totaled $9,820.

Paige Collins of Council on Aging reported 30 volunteers stepped up to help with the drive.
