The Wake Forest Police Department has begun accepting checks and cash for its 12th annual Turkey Drive, and on Saturday, Nov. 17, it will accept donations of frozen turkeys at the Wake Forest Police Department’s Main Station on Taylor Street. The money will buy additional turkeys.
On Monday, Nov. 19, police officers and staff will be at the Wake Forest Community House on West Owen Avenue to give the turkeys to needy community families from 9 to 11 a.m. or until they run out of turkeys.
