Join our Turkey Tuesday drive to bring Thanksgiving to every table!

As the holiday season approaches, many Arizona families are feeling the strain of rising costs and cuts to food assistance. Since July 2025, more than 450,000 Arizonans, including nearly 200,000 children, have lost SNAP benefits, making access to nutritious food even more challenging for families across our state. But when our community comes together, we can help ensure every family has the opportunity to enjoy the comfort of a Thanksgiving meal.

In Arizona alone, over 1 million people face food insecurity, meaning they don't have access to enough food to meet their needs. And worse yet, more than 291,000 of them are children. 

To address this need, 12News is partnering with AJ's Fine Foods, Bashas’ and Food City for the annual Turkey Tuesday drive benefitting St. Vincent de Paul. Together we're working to ensure every family has the chance to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal and stay fed this season, regardless of their circumstance.

What better way to meet this need than through the largest one-day turkey drive in the nation? This year, Turkey Tuesday takes place on Nov. 24, and online and grocery store PIN pad donations are available throughout the month to support the drive. Here's how your donation adds up:

$20 will provide a turkey for a local family in need

$50 buys a holiday food box for a family with a turkey and all the sides and fixings

Join Turkey Tuesday to help keep the turkey tradition alive for families who might otherwise go without!
