🔥 WEAR THE FIREBIRD! 🔥

The Official 2026 Operation Firebird T-Shirt is here—and this one is extra special!

This year's shirt was designed by Devyn, the 4 year old granddaughter of Excalibur Outreach founder Brian Collins. We wanted her creativity to do something bigger than create a great shirt, so every purchase has a purpose: after production costs, a portion supports our young designer and the rest helps Excalibur Outreach provide Thanksgiving meals to families in our community.

🦃 LIMITED-EDITION 2026 DESIGN
👕 Preorder during October
📦 Shirts will be printed and delivered in November
❤️ Support a young artist
🍽️ Help provide Thanksgiving meals

This is the first-ever Operation Firebird T-shirt, and it's only available for a limited time!

She designed it. You wear it. Together, we feed families.

🦃🔥 ARVADA vs. WESTMINSTER — LET THE TURKEY GAGGLE BEGIN! 🔥🦃

This Thanksgiving, we're putting a little friendly rivalry between two great communities to work for an important cause.

Arvada Fire and Westminster Fire Department are going head-to-head in the Arvada/Westminster Fire Turkey Gaggle!

And we're asking the residents of both cities to help their firefighters bring home the win — while helping local families have a Thanksgiving meal on the table.

WHAT IS THE TURKEY GAGGLE?

Firefighters + neighborhoods + turkeys = Thanksgiving meals for local families.

Excalibur Outreach is working with the fire community to collect frozen turkeys that will be distributed to families who could use a little extra help this Thanksgiving.

But there's a little competition involved…

🔥 ARVADA WANTS TO BEAT WESTMINSTER.
🔥 WESTMINSTER WANTS TO BEAT ARVADA.

And we're taking the competition straight into the neighborhoods!

EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS INVITED!

You DO NOT have to live in one of the neighborhoods listed below to participate.

We're highlighting some initial target neighborhoods to help get things started, but every neighborhood in Arvada and Westminster is welcome to create a Neighborhood Turkey Gaggle!

Get your neighbors together. Pick a neighborhood leader. Collect some turkeys. And represent your city!

ARVADA — INITIAL TARGET NEIGHBORHOODS

🦃 Candelas
🦃 Village of Five Parks
🦃 Leyden Rock
🦃 Ralston Valley
🦃 West Woods

TURKEY DROP-OFF

🔥SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2026🔥

📍King Soopers — 8031 Wadsworth Blvd.
🚗 Parking Lot
⏰ 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Bring your frozen turkeys to the drop-off and help your city's fire department climb the leaderboard!

Every turkey collected by your neighborhood helps your city compete — and, more importantly, helps a local family enjoy Thanksgiving.

🏆 WHO WILL WIN?

We'll be tracking the neighborhood effort and recognizing:

🦃 Most Turkeys Collected
❤️ Most Generous Neighborhood
🔥 Best Neighborhood Participation
🏆 Arvada Turkey Gaggle Champion
🏆 Westminster Turkey Gaggle Champion

And then we'll answer the big question…

WHO GAGGLED THE MOST — ARVADA OR WESTMINSTER?

But here's the thing:

The real winners are the families who receive a Thanksgiving meal because their neighbors decided to help. ❤️

So whether you're Team Arvada or Team Westminster, we need you.

👇 COMMENT BELOW WITH YOUR CITY + NEIGHBORHOOD and let us know who's ready to start a Neighborhood Turkey Gaggle!

Tag your HOA.
Tag your neighborhood leader.
Tag your neighbors.
Tag your favorite firefighter.

LET'S GAGGLE! 🦃🔥🦃🔥🦃
