2007 Turkey Hunters Care Program Continues to Grow!

Since the inception of Turkey Hunters Care in 2001, more than 65,000 turkeys have been giving out to families in need, the equivalent of 390,000 meals. The program was developed by the NWTF to give back to the community. So far this year 228 chapters in 39 states and two Canadian provinces participated in the program delivering 11,089 turkeys to families in need, the equivalent of 66,534 meals.

Through the Turkey Hunters Care program, local NWTF chapter volunteers team up with church ministries, food pantries, children's organizations, homeless shelters, National Guard units and other civic service organizations to donate turkeys.
