Last year, funds raised from the Thanksgiving Duck Draw project provided 120 local families with Thanksgiving dinner. The dinners consisted of a 10-12 lb turkey, baking pan, rice, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn, stuffing mix and box of brownie mix. Student Affairs worked with faculty & staff, local school agencies, and local churches to find families that need assistance during the holiday. The goal is to feed 150 families this year, which will bring the total number of families fed since the project’s inception to 650.
