How to Donate a Turkey to Someone in Need

Hey there, Chippewa Valley, have I got an opportunity for you – and it’s not just a savory steal, it’s a chance to spread some kindness this Thanksgiving.

Here’s the deal: buy a mouthwatering Hormel Cure 81 boneless ham at Hy-Vee before November 21st, and guess what? You get to pay it forward with a turkey for a family that could use a little extra love. Swing by the meat department, grab a donation voucher, and at the checkout, the awesome cashiers will make sure your generosity reaches those who need it most. It’s like adding an extra helping of goodness to your holiday meal.

Hy-Vee is holding a promotion where if you buy a Hormel Cure 81 boneless ham, you get a turkey. But why not spread some holiday cheer and donate that turkey to someone who needs it more? To donate it, you’ll want to grab a donation voucher in the meat department and the cashiers will take care of the rest.

Then, on November 21st from 10AM to NOON, right in the Hy-Vee store, the stations of Mid-West Family Eau Claire, Hy-Vee, and the Backyard Dreams crew are teaming up to make sure those turkeys land on the tables of folks who might otherwise miss out. It’s a chance to spread that warm, fuzzy feeling we get when we know we’ve made someone’s day a little brighter.

If you know someone in need who may need a turkey this Thanksgiving, send them to Hy-Vee on November 21st and we’ll be happy to hook them up. We’ll be giving away these turkeys to those who need them most starting at 10am at Hy-Vee, while supplies last.

It’s more than just a buy-and-give; it’s about being part of a tight-knit community that looks out for one another. It’s about making sure everyone gets a chance to savor the flavors of the season and feel the love in the air. It’s the stuff that makes our little corner of the world a bit more special. 

Another opportunity is that, on November 21st, when we’re giving out these turkeys to families in need, you can buy a voucher for a hot meal to pay it forward and those will be given to people in need as well. Double chances to help others!

So, as you’re prepping to dig into that scrumptious feast, take a moment to soak in the love and goodwill that’s making the rounds. Let’s remember that even the smallest acts of kindness can spark a whole lot of joy. Let’s make this Thanksgiving a time to share, give thanks, and spread that warm, fuzzy feeling. After all, a little kindness, served with a side of ham and turkey, can make all the difference in someone’s world.
