Denver Feed-A-Family seeks support to continue giving out turkey baskets
“Daddy” Bruce Randolph’s legacy – which began nearly 60 years ago – will once again be honored with a community celebration at 1865 Bruce Randolph Avenue in Denver, as volunteers hand out Turkey baskets which contain of all of the trimmings and enough food to feed a family. The distribution will take place on November 19th, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Denver Feed-A-Family has continued Daddy Bruce’s tradition of providing Thanksgiving meals to needy families for over 20 years. The last the two years brought challenges with supply chain shortages and the ability to secure a supply of turkeys for the Thanksgiving baskets.
The Epworth Foundation’s leadership wanted to bring this tradition back knowing the pandemic has severely impacted Denver’s most vulnerable citizens. Their goal is to hand-out 5,000 Thanksgiving baskets during this year’s celebration. In order to meet that goal, Denver Feed-A-Family is seeking monetary donations to cover the cost of $50 dollars per basket to feed a family of eight.
“The heartbeat of Daddy Bruce continues to thrive in the community this Thanksgiving with the distribution of baskets in honor of his legacy,” says Epworth Foundation Elder King Harris.
Denver Feed-A-Family is also looking for volunteers to help with preparing the baskets, sorting the food and dis- tributing baskets to community members. To volunteer or to make a donation, visit https://epworthfoundation.org. About the Epworth Foundation
