BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The community helped Lynden-based Snapper Shuler Kenner Insurance break its turkey donations record last November.
For their 8th annual turkey drive, SSK received enough in donations to give two Whatcom County food banks 384 turkeys, beating their previous record of 247.
The Bellingham Food Bank and Lynden-based Project Hope Food Bank distributed the turkeys to families in need.
People donated $3,910 and SSK matched the first $1,500, then also volunteered time and vehicles to get the turkeys to the food banks.
Bobbi Green with SSK says they were “overwhelmed by the community’s generosity” and thanked the donors who made it possible.
