Canyon Lake's Annual Turkey Drive 🦃
Join us on Thursday, November 20, from 2–4 p.m. for a cherished community tradition that helps local families, and pets, have a brighter holiday.
This year’s Turkey Drive benefits Helping Hands, a local nonprofit supporting neighbors in need. City Hall will be accepting a variety of Thanksgiving food donations, from frozen turkeys to the classic fixings that make a memorable meal.
Alongside the food drive, Yardfresh Pet Waste Management is collecting blankets, quilts, sheets, and dog accessories for Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar. The blanket drive runs the entire month of November—bring items on the 20th or drop them at designated locations throughout the month.
