Preparations are already underway for the 6th annual Tom’s Turkey Drive! This year’s Turkey Drive will take place at all Spokane-area Rosauers stores, including Deer Park. The event gets underway Friday, November 18th and will continue through Saturday, November 19th. Volunteers will be on hand from 8 am to 7 pm to collect frozen turkeys, non-perishable food, and cash donations. Rosauers will also bag entire Thanksgiving dinners, including a turkey, for a $15 donation. All the food and money will go to 2nd Harvest.

Tom’s Turkey Drive is the single-largest source of Thanksgiving meals for the 2nd Harvest Inland Northwest. This year, our goal is to collect nearly 110,000 pounds of food—including at least 5,500 turkeys—as well as $25,000 in cash donations in cash donations.

Tom’s Turkey Drive is named after KREM’s chief meteorologist, Tom Sherry. From the start KREM and Tom teamed up with Citadel Broadcasting. With the combination of television, radio, and Rosauers it has evolved into one of the biggest food drive and fundraisers in our community benefiting 2nd Harvest.
