60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: Celebrating 26 Years Serving Mobile Turkey Unit Thanksgiving to Islanders in Need

Episode Summary

Here on Whidbey Island we're 200 volunteers strong creating 700 complete Thanksgiving dinners for the Mobile Turkey Unit's 26th year!

Episode Notes

Hello to you listening in Sumner, Washington!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.

If this is the day before Thanksgiving I’m elbow deep in boxes of pumpkin pies cutting and boxing slices for upwards of 700 turkey dinners being prepared by 200 Mobile Turkey Unit volunteers who have been busy carving freshly roasted turkeys, peeling mountains of potatoes for mashing, stirring vats of stuffing, spooning up cranberry relish, bagging rolls and butter, napkins, utensils and even coffee. On Thanksgiving morning I’ll help to deliver some of 700 *complete* turkey dinners to those on the Island who otherwise might not have one.  

We are celebrating our 26th year since this nonprofit community event was founded in 1999 by Tom Arhontas, who had a special place in his heart for people in need.
