Bethpage Turkey Drive 'Harvests' Hundreds of Birds

Hundreds of turkeys donated; Panera Bread still accepting offerings.

Long Islanders donated hundreds of frozen turkeys and tons of non-perishable food items at the 5th Annual Turkey Drive hosted by Bethpage Federal Credit Union last week.

The event goes to support Island Harvest’s annual Turkey and Trimmings Collection Campaign to help feed Long Islanders struggling with hunger during the holiday season.

Long Island Panera Bread cafes are also participating in the annual drive, including the Farmingdale location.

Turkey and Trimmings donations can also be made through Dec. 24 at any Long Island Panera Bread bakery-cafe. Donation bins have been set up for boxed and canned foods; frozen turkeys can be donated at the counter.
