Retailers Provide Turkeys for 28,800 Thanksgiving Meals
29th Annual Foundation Turkey Drive of the Associated Food & Petroleum Dealers will help 2,400 needy families in the Metro Detroit area enjoy a better Thanksgiving.
 Farmington Hills (Nov. 18, 2009)–The Associated Food & Petroleum Dealers (AFPD) will provide 2,400 families in the Metro Detroit area with turkeys for their Thanksgiving dinners, which equals approximately 28,800 meals (at 12 servings per turkey). In addition to the turkeys, Faygo Beverages is donating one 2-liter bottle of soda to each family, and Tom’s Potato Chips is donating a bags of chips.
AFPD is the trade organization for the food, beverage and petroleum industries in Michigan and Ohio. This is the 29th year that AFPD has provided needy families with turkeys for the holidays. Since 1980, the AFPD program has donated more than 48,000 turkeys for a total of approximately 576,000 meals. Many retailers and other local businesses have given generously to this program. This is one way our local independent retailers work together with the community to provide local needy families with a holiday meal. Turkeys were pre-packaged with the help of Student Council and National Honor Society students from Kettering High School in Detroit.
AFPD warmly thanks these sponsors who provided
goods and services to our 2009 Foundation Turkey Drive
Your generosity is truly appreciated and will make a real difference in the lives
of individuals and families in need
