Turkeys & More was excited to receive a donation of $1,500 recently from the Coeur d'Alene Aerie 486 Eagles to help pay for Thanksgiving turkeys. A celebration thank you was given at the Eagles by Turkey President Nancy Nelson Walz. She said plans are to buy 2,000 turkeys again this year to serve local families who are financially stressed. Walz anticipates around 10,000 people will be able to enjoy a holiday dinner in their home because of the wonderful support and donations from the Eagles and others in the community that want to help. Founder Evalyn Adams expressed her gratitude to the Eagles who have contributed turkey money for the last seven years for a grand total of $7,000.
