Yam Fam Harvest Fun Run & Walk -Turkey Trot

10/14/2026

We’re getting ready for this year’s Yam Fam Harvest Run & Walk on Thanksgiving morning, and we could use a few extra hands to make it happen.

If you’re able to help with set‑up, check‑in, guiding runners/walkers, or collecting food and cash donations for YCAP, we’d love to have you join the volunteer crew. It’s light, fun work and a great way to kick off the holiday with neighbors.

Comment below or send a message if you can help. Thank you, Yam Fam community.

Thanksgiving morning was a blast — and together we made a big impact:
- Raised $5,000 for YCAP (Yamhill Community Action Partnership)
- Collected 700 pounds of food for local families
- over 400+ people ran, walked, and cheered

Huge thanks to everyone who attended, donated, and helped keep this tradition alive. You brought the energy, the generosity, and the fun. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
