PHOENIX — With Thanksgiving approaching, St. Mary’s Food Bank is putting out a call for donations for Arizona families in need for the holiday.

St. Mary’s is asking for donations of turkeys, holiday food or cash. The event culminates with StMary’s annual Super Saturday Turkey Drive on Nov. 23. Food bank employees and volunteers will be at more than 20 Albertsons, Safeway and StMary’s locations around the Valley from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to receive donations.

Donations can be dropped off at St. Mary’s locations in Phoenix, located on 31st and Windsor avenues, and Surprise, located on Elm Street and Dysart Road, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

StMary’s needs 12,000 turkeys to meet its goal of providing families who visits the food bank with a Thanksgiving meal, according to a press release. With a donation to St. Mary’s website, $20 will put a turkey on the table for Thanksgiving.

We want to hear from you.
