What an incredible night at the Tanner’s Turkeys Fundraiser! Thanks to the amazing community support, Tanner’s Turkeys has officially hit their goal and will be feeding 750 families this Thanksgiving!

We’re especially grateful to share that 100 of those meals will be donated to Manatee Children’s Services to help feed families in our programs, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of this incredible community.

But it’s not over yet, Tanner’s Turkeys is now aiming to reach 1,000 meals so even more families can enjoy a warm Thanksgiving dinner. Let’s help them cross the finish line, consider donating today to support this amazing cause!
