It will be a happy Thanksgiving for many families throughout Washington County thanks to the community and its support of our 2000 Turkeys campaign. The total collected as of Wednesday morning was $189,859. 2000 Turkeys board member and Canonsburg Mayor Dave Rhome says that is the second highest total every collected and nearly double our annual goal of $100,000. All funds collected will help put a turkey dinner on the table for families served by Washington County’s food pantry network. That includes 13 community food pantries and a dozen senior high-rises that work in partnership with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. On Tuesday, Range Resources held a one-hour telethon that was streamed live for one-hour on their Facebook page and raised more than $34,000 in donations. Range Resources then matched $20,000 of those funds putting the grand total for the event at more than $54,000. Donations of any amount are still being taken and can be sent to; 2000 Turkeys, P.O. Box 2000, Washington, Pa. 15301.
