The Turkey Challenge Was A Huge Success!

The Kent Turkey Challenge, now in its 12th year, has once again demonstrated the remarkable generosity and community spirit of the Kent area. With the enthusiastic participation of local organizations, schools, businesses, and individuals, this year’s campaign raised 2,750 pounds of food and $12,411 in donations to support families in need through the Kent Food Bank. Of this, Kent United Methodist Church members and friends donated 310 containers of dressing and broth and $676—well exceeding our goals.

This was the first year of the Turkey Challenge after COVID and the first time that we, as a church, stepped up to work with TorkLift Central to coordinate the event. We look forward to beginning our efforts of engaging other communities of faith early in 2025 to secure their participation next fall. Watch out for what we help make it happen next year! Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts to feed those in need.
