The Turkey Drive is important for families in need, providing turkey for Thanksgiving meals. The drive sees generous donations from the community, with hundreds of turkeys donated each year. Cash and online donations also support the drive, allowing the Mississippi Food Network to purchase canned and dry goods in bulk. The drive ensures that families in need can have a special holiday meal and brings people together in the act of giving.
