Turkey Drive collected enough food, money to feed 71k

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Last week we told you about the Street Turkey Food Drive to benefit the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, now the numbers are in.

The event racked up more than $13,000 pounds of food donations and more than $12,000 in monetary donations.

That will enable the food bank to provide a total of more than 71,000 meals to those in need.

Thank you to everyone who helped feed the hungry this holiday season.
