It was a record year for the 2000 Turkeys campaign. The official, final total was announced Wednesday morning. Board member Karen Mansfield says $231,500 was raised. That is the highest total ever collected. All of the money goes towards providing a Thanksgiving dinner for needy families in Washington County. That includes 13 community food pantries and a dozen senior high-rises that work in partnership with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Mansfield, along with fellow board members Laurel Ziemba and Dave Rhome thanked the Washington County community for coming together to make this years event such a success.
