For over 15 years, First United Methodist Church of Gilbert has sponsored a Turkey Drive to help less fortunate families within our community to have a Thanksgiving Celebration meal.

In 2019 we raised almost $4,800 and provided 124 boxes to over 300 people. There were 25 driver volunteers that helped deliver the boxes. We worked with AZCEND to get the family names, and Albertsons at Gilbert and Riggs packaged everything together for us.
