Austin, Texas residents
Want to help? Here's how:
We need volunteers to help cook food, sort donations, package the food in to-go containers and people to deliver the food. Please sign up as a volunteer in the upper right-hand corner of the website where it says "Newsletter & Volunteers." We will send you details on email.
Then show up at one the following locations at 9:30 AM on Thanksgiving morning:
If you live in Downtown or South Austin
Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill
214 E. 6th St.
Austin, TX 78701
512-469-0001
If you live in central / North Austin
Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill
6901 N. IH35
Austin, TX 78752
(East side frontage road (northbound) just before HWY 183)
Thank you for your interest in donating your time to help feed our neighbors who are having a hard time making ends meet this Thanksgiving.
Helping Operation Turkey starts with donations. Please assemble donations of clothing, toiletries and non-perishable food items. Simply drop them off at the Operation Turkey Drop locations listed in the "Donation Locations" section of the website.
Next, we ask that you come out on Thanksgiving morning to help cook, package and deliver food to the homeless. You get to select what you want to do. Some people love to cook, but not deliver. Some want to deliver only. That is AOK. Your help is greatly appreciated.
We ask that you show up between 9:00 and 9:30 AM. Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes just to be safe.
Kids are welcome and encouraged to come out. We have programs that enlist the help of the younger members of your family. They will get to share this experience with you and it will get help educate them on giving back to the community.
Please register as a volunteer in the upper right-hand corner of the website where it says "Click here to signup for the newsletter and register as a volunteer."
See you on Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you,
Richard M. Bagdonas
