Warther Family Delivering Annual Tons of Turkeys For Low-Income Families
Warther Family Delivering Annual Tons of Turkeys For Low-Income Families

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- This Thanksgiving Season, Cityteam Philadelphia, a non-profit organization serving low-income families and the homeless throughout the greater Delaware Valley was in need of turkeys to put together with their food boxes and feed on Thanksgiving day. The organization, Tons of Turkeys came to the rescue of Cityteam with a donate 1,500 of turkeys to help local families.

These Turkeys are a real treat for families in need. They are the same turkeys that will grace the table of the White House this Thanksgiving. - Jill Laufenberg, Cityteam Philadelphia

Post this

Richard (Rick) Warther, the founder of Tons of Turkeys meet with Cityteam regarding their critical need for turkeys this year and how so many families had registered for a food box. He heard first hand how these families struggle each day to feed their children and how they freely receive vital services from Cityteam. Rick saw that Tons of Turkeys could make a real difference this holiday by helping these families with 1,500 turkeys. 1,000 of the turkeys will go to Cityteam, while 500 turkeys will be delivered to Chester County Food Bank.

PHOTO/VIDEO Meet the Warther Family from Tons of Turkey as they unload 1,500 turkeys from Jaindl Farms truck in the city of Chester for Cityteam.
DATE & TIME: Friday, November 22nd- 9 AM – 10 AM
LOCATION: Cityteam Warehouse at 805A West 2nd Street (PA-291), Chester, PA
Cross Streets: West 2nd St. & Ulrich St.)

As the Warther family sat down for dinner four years ago, they tried to imagine what it would be like without a turkey as the centerpiece of their Thanksgiving celebration just days away. The next day, Richard Warther, his wife Francie and daughters Katie and Natalie decided to make a difference that holiday season.

“I’m a bit of an impulsive person and people will tell you if I get my head around an idea I like to carry it out,” Warther said. “Our family has been very blessed, and we’ve realized the best way to show how truly thankful we are is to share the spirit of Thanksgiving with other families who are in need,” Warther said. Without much time, Warther piled his daughters into a rented U-Haul truck and headed north to collect the 100 turkeys they purchased.

Since then, Warther and his family formed Tons of Turkeys, a non-profit whose mission is to deliver Thanksgiving turkeys to families in need throughout the Philadelphia area. They made the switch to donating their turkeys to Cityteam last year when they discovered that individuals served do not have to pay to receive their Thanksgiving food box.

One of the best parts of this story is the quality of the Turkey’s donated. They aren’t discounted, or whole sale; the turkeys are purchased from Jaindl Farms of Orefield. This is the farm that for the past 40 years has provided the White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov) with their holiday turkeys every year (yes, even the pardoned ones). The fully integrated turkey farm, owned and operated for five generations and 75 years in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, provide delivery for the turkeys directly to Chester. Those being served at Cityteam love to hear that they are getting a Turkey from the same place as the White House!
