Washington County Turkey-A-Thon

For Washington County families facing food insecurity, the holiday season is a particularly stressful time. The annual Washington County Turkey-A-Thon, hosted by Classic Hits 92.7/95.3FM and The Border 102.9FM, in partnership with Healthy Acadia and sponsored by Dunkin in Calais and Machias and VL Tammaro of Calais, is a county-wide, day-long fundraising event aimed at reducing the burden and provide a healthy holiday meal for families in need.

From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the second Friday in October, community volunteers, including staff from the sponsoring businesses and Healthy Acadia, are at seven locations across Washington County to accept monetary donations. Every dollar raised is used to purchase gift certificates from local grocery stores for Washington County food pantries. The gift certificates help families in need to enjoy a healthy holiday meal. For the last 

A $12 donation can purchase a holiday turkey for a family of four, and your donation, in any amount, makes a difference. 

Each year, the incredible generosity of our local businesses and community members has helped us to surpass our $30,000 fundraising goal - the equivalent of 2,500 turkeys.
