Cash and checks written to the Wake Forest Police Department are also accepted. Anyone wishing to contribute cash or check to this year’s Turkey Drive should contact Officer K. Abshire at kabshire@wakeforestnc.gov. All monetary donations will be used to purchase additional turkeys.
On Saturday, Nov. 18, the Police Department will accept monetary donations and donations of frozen turkeys at the WFPD Main Station, 225 S. Taylor St., from 9 a.m. until noon.
Police officers and staff will then distribute the turkeys while they last on Monday, Nov. 20, from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry, 149 E. Holding Avenue.
