Love of People feeds THOUSANDS at their annual Thanksgiving event. Your donation of $25 feeds 12 people with just one turkey. 🦃 Show some love. Merci!

Let's Talk Turkey! The Birthday Bird Drive is officially live!

This year, I'm asking you to skip the birthday gifts and help me do something that truly matters.

For nearly 10 years, my dear friend Jon Jenkins was the heartbeat of our Community Thanksgiving: the man who started smoking turkeys in August just to make sure everything was perfect. We recently lost Jon, and we honor his memory in the renaming of our annual Community Thanksgiving. It is with great pleasure that I announce the Williams-Jenkins Community Thanksgiving.

So, in his honor and profound memory, instead of shots, gifts and birthday wishes, I'm asking my friends to "Buy a Bird!"

Here's the math: one turkey can stuff 12 plate lunches for our annual William-Jenkins Community Thanksgiving! $25 sponsors one turkey and my goal is 50! BOOM, that's 600 neighbors fed! And last year we fed over 5,000!! That's a lot of turkey!!

FRIENDS: Donate a bird. Let's make Jon proud. 🙏
