Gobbler Gathering

Funds raised from the Drumstick Dash go toward providing local families with a full Thanksgiving dinner. That includes literally everything from veggies, mac and cheese, bread, and a turkey. If you are in need of a Thanksgiving dinner, sign-ups for this year’s Gobbler Gathering will be October 20–23 at Washington Square Mall.
