Help make Thanksgiving special for families in our community!

The Ardmore Food Pantry is collecting frozen turkeys to ensure everyone has a festive meal this year. We will be accepting donations only on Monday, November 24, from 8 AM to 10 AM at 36 Ardmore Avenue, Ardmore, PA 19003. Please drop your turkey off at the Parish Hall.

We can only accept turkeys during this time because of limited freezer space—so mark your calendars and join us in spreading holiday cheer! Every donation helps make a difference.

Bring a turkey, bring some joy!
