Every year at this time Cranbrook and area citizens show their heart and love of their fellow human beings by digging into their wallets and supporting the annual Turkey Drive, organized by the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce.

With harsher economic times and more global uncertainty swirling this year, there are more needy families in help this Christmas in the Key City.

The Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Food Bank need community support to help support our community. 
The chamber is working with these two dedicated agencies to ensure every family in our community has a Christmas dinner

“There is a need this year for over 750 Christmas hampers in Cranbrook. 
The average Christmas hamper costs $85, for a total of $64,000,” the chamber noted.

Please join in helping our community by donating a turkey. 
You can donate from today to December 25.

For $20 you can help make a real difference. 
Please donate as many turkeys as you are able
.

To make a donation or get more information please go HERE or call 250-426-5914 or contact one of the chamber’s designated “little pluckers” who are tasked with raising funds for this cause.

While this year’s Turkey Drive, again headed by chamber members Jason Wheeldon and Warren Bedell, began Nov. 14 and runs until Christmas Day – Dec. 8 is the ‘big push’ day in the community.
