YES, IT'S BASICALLY TO FEED THE HUNGRY
This is a Holiday Neighborhood Initiative in collaboration with St. Emydius Church in the Ingleside District of San Francisco
My name is Pierre Smit and I started the SF Turkey Drive from my home on Merced Heights in San Francisco in 2012. Every year, for Thanksgiving and for Christmas, and in collaboration with St. Emydius Church, we collect turkeys or monetary donations to help feed the hungry. 100% of your donations will go directly to the non-profit you select from the following 2 organizations:
- The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank will receive all food* collected, and donations directed to SFMFB; CLICK HERE for details.
- The St. Anthony Foundation will receive all monetary donations directed to SAF; CLICK HERE for details. Note that St. Anthony Foundation will not accept donations of food.
* Food includes all turkeys and vegetables; plus hams in December.
The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank's mission is to end hunger in our own community.
The St Anthony Foundation's mission is to feed, heal, shelter, clothe, lift the spirits of those in need.
Yes, your gift is basically to feed the hungry.
So this year, we will continue helping those in basic need of food, as your gift of food is a gift of life.

The collaboration between St. Anthony's and SF Turkey Drive at St. Emydius plays a very large role in our ability to meet the demand by donating more than 500 Turkeys and other much needed food each year.

As a member of this neighborhood, I support and have assisted the SF Turkey Drive in its efforts to feed those in need.
Hunger is a real issue in our city and our
neighborhood. I hope everyone can assist Mr. Smit to reach those in need.

The SFTurkey Drive at St. Emydius Church has been conducted under the leadership of Mr. Pierre Smit, for several years. This has and will be our way of helping to feed those less fortunate. I personally have been a supporter of St. Anthony's for several years as this organization has helped so many individuals and families.
