Operation Turkey Drive

Operation Turkey Drive collects and distributes thousands of frozen turkeys to families facing food insecurity across Oshawa and the Greater Toronto Area during the holiday season. The organization works with local volunteers and corporate donors to identify households in need and deliver poultry directly to their doors, ensuring families have access to a meaningful holiday meal. Beyond the annual turkey distribution, Operation Turkey Drive provides nutritional support and connects recipients with additional food bank resources and social services. The initiative operates year-round through preparation and fundraising, then scales up significantly in November and December when demand peaks. By partnering with grocery stores, suppliers, and community groups, the organization has grown to help hundreds of families each year who might otherwise go without a traditional holiday dinner.
