Flying High Turkey Drive to Support Local Families This Thanksgiving

In a tradition that spans more than two decades, the Prescott Chamber of Commerce and Prescott Area Young Professionals (PAYP) are teaming up once again for the 22nd Annual Flying High Turkey Drive. This community event aims to ensure that families in Yavapai County have a warm meal to enjoy this Thanksgiving, providing both turkeys and food baskets for those in need.

Scheduled for noon to 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 25, the Turkey Drive will be held at two Fry’s Grocery Store locations in Prescott, at 950 Fair St. and 3198 Willow Creek Road.

With each year’s drive, the goal remains the same: to gather as many turkey donations and financial contributions as possible, with proceeds benefiting the Yavapai County Food Bank and additional local churches and organizations. This network of support will help ensure that families across the community can come together to share in the Thanksgiving spirit.

How to Support the Turkey Drive
Community members who want to participate can do so in two ways: through turkey donations by dropping off a turkey at either Fry’s location on Nov. 25 during event hours; and through cash donations.

A donation of just $30 can provide a meal for a family of four. For those unable to attend in person, financial contributions can be made by mail, with all funds directly supporting the Turkey Drive. To donate by mail, checks can be made out to the Prescott Chamber Foundation with “Flying High Turkey Drive” in the memo line. Donations should be sent to the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, 117 W. Goodwin St., Prescott, Arizona 86303. The donation deadline is Friday, Nov. 22.

Each year, we see the community come together to make this event a success. We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of our local businesses, residents and partners, who make it possible for so many to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. QCBN
