I have seen many volunteers pour their hearts out for others. I have seen honor and duty in our youth. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of 500 Turkeys. I consider it a gift to serve and an honor to know all that were involved.

I especially enjoyed all the new people I met over the past few months. The support from the guys and gals at U S Steel was awesome. Many of them I had never met before but… 500Turkeys brought us together. I was also touched by all the different organizations that came together, other churches, The Civil Air Patrol, and various business as well. I thank Our Awesome God for taking care of every need and relearned how faithful and loving He really is. With God anything is possible. Praise His name forever!

It never ceases to amaze me what He can do when His body follows His lead.

I was reunited with a childhood friends family and able to hear first hand how God has touched their lives through this. What an absoultely awesome Blessing! Everyone involved in putting this together and pulling this off is truly an Angel among us here on earth. May God Bless you all!!!

My family was treated with kindness and respect by the volunteers from the moment we got in line till the time we left the parking lot. We were especially surprised to find some cash in an envelope when we got home. We also appreciated that so many volunteers came up to me and chit-chatted for a moment, which made me feel very welcome. We also enjoyed the refreshments, which made everything seem so unstressful. It was much appreciated!

Im really bad with names, but I do remember a man outside, ‘Jake’ who was so friendly to us while we were in line outside. This was the most organized mission I had ever been a recipient of. We also appreciate the men and women in uniform standing at the door and helping out w/ the truck. I sure hope many more recipients come forward so show their support.

(in another note) thanks for letting us be a part of it. I think we all grew, were blessed, were amazed, were humbled, and had a whole bunch of fun all because you took and opened that envelope who would have thought?
