Another successful year of spreading holiday cheer with our annual Turkey Drive – officially in the books! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this year’s Turkey Drive supporting the children and families of El Hogar Del Niño a success. This marks our fourth year of working side-by-side to ensure families enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal, complete with turkeys and grocery bags filled with essential food items. It was an incredible day, and partnering with such a fantastic team is always a pleasure. A special thank you to local leaders, including Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez of the 25th Ward, for the support. From the collaboration and camaraderie to the smiles we saw on the faces of families, this event truly embodied the spirit of giving and community. Here’s to many more years of partnership and making a meaningful impact. Happy Thanksgiving to all! #AldenNetwork #GivingBack #CommunitySupport #TurkeyDrive #Partnerships
