About this event

Every year HATT Foundation, Inc holds an Annual Turkey Drive to put a turkey on the Thanksgiving table of at-risk children, seniors, and needy families of Southeast Florida. In 2019, we distributed 10,000 turkeys and fixings to 10,000 needy and at-risk seniors and families, and 5,000 turkeys and fixings in 2018. Because of COVID-19 mandates and for everyone's health and safety we were not able to have it in 2020 and 5,00 turkeys and fixings in 2021. We want to come back strong this year but we can only do it with your help.
