2019 has been “the best year yet” for the Wake Forest Police Department’s 13th Turkey Drive, Det. M.W. Sattler said Monday.
The department already has enough money for 600 turkeys, and Sattler said they hope to have enough for 800 or more turkeys by Monday, Nov. 25, when they will distribute the turkeys and bags of donated food at the Wake Forest Community House. They will accept donations of frozen turkeys and monetary donations from 9 a.m. to noon at the main station for the Wake Forest Police Department, 225 South Taylor Street on Saturday, Nov. 23
Sattler said the Wake Forest community has been consistent in donating all during the turkey drive this year. “They have been very generous.”
