Donations needed for turkey giveaway

Middletown — The Regional Economic Community Action Program (RECAP) seeks donations for its annual “Turkey and Thanksgiving Bag Giveaway.” RECAP hopes to hand out 700 turkeys with all the trimmings for a home-cooked meal between Nov. 19 and 21 to registered families and qualifying Orange County participants. The Thanksgiving drive depends on donations of turkeys, and non-perishable foods (gravy, mashed potatoes, canned yams/sweet potatoes, stuffing, rice, cranberry sauce, corned bread mix), and paper and plastic bags. Donations of cash are also needed along with volunteers to help bag, transport, and hand out food. All donations of cash and food will be accepted at: RECAP, 40 Smith St. Middletown. All donations are tax-deductible. For ore information call John Strobl, nutrition case advocate, at 342-3978 ext. 30.
