Costco, where the turkeys were purchased, also donated 30 birds to the cause.
To purchase the turkeys, $7,410 was collected and with Costco’s contribution it brought the grand total to $7,910.
The turkeys were delivered to Sacramento Food Bank, Orangevale Food Bank, Liberty Towers Church, Bethany Food Bank and Cordova Community Food Locker.
