There are thousands of families in the tri-state area that
need the help provided by 102.9 WMGK’s 12th Annual John DeBella Turkey Drop
more than ever this year.
WMGK’s partner in the Turkey Drop, Cityteam Philadelphia,
has seen a 25% increase in new families that are signing up for holiday meal
assistance this year. The Cityteam staff
has been humbled by the embarrassment that many of those seeking their help
have expressed. Those in need want to be
able to provide for themselves but due to certain circumstances have no one
else to turn to.
On Tuesday November 26 from 6am to 9am, Classic Rock 102.9
WMGK’s morning host, John DeBella, will broadcast live and accept monetary and
turkey donations during this year’s Turkey Drop at Love Park (16th &
JFK).
The John DeBella Turkey Drop is the largest, one day food
gathering event in Philadelphia . Last year’s Turkey Drop raised over 10,000
turkeys. The Turkey Drop benefits
Cityteam Philadelphia, an organization that provides food and services to less
fortunate individuals, families, shelters and food groups in the tri-state
area.
In addition to Love
Park , members of the MGK on-air staff
will be spread around the tri-state area accepting donations at seven Giant
Food Store locations in Pennsylvania and two
Panera Bread locations in New Jersey
from 6am to 9am.
