Its the 3rd Annual Kent Turkey Challenge!!


IS PROUD TO BE PARTICIPATING IN...




October 15-November 21st

The Kent Turkey Challenge is a challenge between businesses and organizations to collect the most food and monetary donations. All donations will be donated to the Kent Food Bank to help provide families with a memorable holiday dinner.
The 1st and 2nd Annual Kent Turkey Challenge collected roughly 3,700 pounds of food and $24,500 combined. Each year, the Kent City Council supports the Turkey Challenge by making a proclamation and reading it during the city council meeting on October 15th.
Donation boxes and related materials are provided to each business at no charge. Businesses have the option to sell paper turkeys for $10 which will be another way that community members can participate in the challenge.
Several businesses and organizations are already on board including the Experience Kent Expo who agreed to have the Turkey Challenge apart of the expo on October 17th at the Showare Center. You can donate food or money towards the challenge during the expo. The Kent Reporter is also supporting the event by running a weekly ad with the leaders of the challenge.
Our goal this year is to reach 3,000 pounds of food and $15,000 for the Kent Food Bank. With the help of local schools, organizations and businesses, we hope to achieve this goal.
The Kent Food Bank relies on the community to help create a memorable event for families in need.
