One Day Fundraiser Brings In $50K For 2000 Turkeys

November 22, 2024 2:00 am

A big THANK-YOU goes out to Range Resources and some one-hundred-and fifty volunteers who hit the downtown streets of Washington and Canonsburg for several hours on Wednesday to solicit donations for the 2000 Turkeys Campaign.  The money raised will go directly toward making sure area families who are in need have a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal.  Volunteers hit the streets at eight-thirty a.m. and braved the rain until two-thirty, collecting donations, and their efforts paid off.  Range Resources had promised a matching donation of all funds raised on Wednesday, up to twenty-five-thousand-dollars.  They did it!  With the collections and Range’s matching donation, more than fifty-thousand-dollars was raised.  Donations are still being accepted.  If you would like to donate, you can send a check to; 2000 Turkeys P.O. Box 2000 Washington, Pa. 15301 or go to Range Resources Facebook Page and click on the link for the Pittsburgh Food Bank.  (Pictured:  Josh from ARC in Canonsburg)
