ALL TURKEYED OUT
1,800 birds donated to families for Thanksgiving
Pallets of turkeys and hundreds of cars lined up to receive them filled the parking lot at Heart of the City Church in Coeur d'Alene Thursday. “It’s such a blessing,” Dallas Danielson of Post Falls said. “I just moved from Washington, Seattle, so to kind of get this pick-me-up for a whole meal is really great.” Through Heart Reach, Inc., the nonprofit food bank arm of Heart of the City Church, the annual Turkeys and More giveaway donated 1,800 turkeys to families in time for Thanksgiving.
