Turkey Take-Out includes families in beach communities
Donate non-perishable food items, money or volunteer to help

In addition to the Foley Elementary site, Turkey Take-Out is partnering with Gulf Shores, Orange Beach & Swift schools to provide Thanksgiving meals to families who may need a little extra help in those communities this year. The program was established to provide families with a warm meal on Thanksgiving Day as well as non-perishable food items to fill the pantries of those in need.
Turkey Take-Out is calling on everyone to collect non-perishable food items and deliver to the following locations: Genesis Church, Oyster Bay Baptist Church, Shell Banks Baptist Church, Alabama Credit Union (Gulf Shores & Orange Beach locations), Orange Beach Community Church, Cutter’s Corner (7857 Highway 59, Foley), Kaiser Realty (1557 Gulf Shores Parkway, Gulf Shores), Angel Hair Salon (128 Cove Avenue, Gulf Shores) or Gulf Shores City Schools Central Office (300 East 16th Avenue, Gulf Shores).
Churches or other organizations can also collect the food items to be delivered to Gulf Shores Elementary School by Friday, November 22.
A donation of $40 will feed a family of four. Volunteers are needed for the preparation of food, organization of non-perishable foods, packaging and delivery. Anyone wishing to donate or volunteer can go to the Turkey Take-Out website at turkeytakeout.com after October 28. For more info, contact Dr. William Lawrence at 251-269-3178 or Kimberly Ray at 251-747-2874 / kray413@gmail.com or go to turkeytakeout.com.
The Thanksgiving meal of turkey, dressing, green beans, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls and pie was prepared, packaged and delivered with the help of more than 300 volunteers over two days.
“I was so humbled by the willingness of so many people to provide this service to our children and meet the needs of our students and their families. The response is proof that people really do care, are willing to help their neighbor, and that there is hope for those who are needy,” said Dr. William Lawrence, former principal of Foley Elementary School.
