Meal Gift Registration
and Information

The meal gifts that will be provided come from your community. Many businesses, schools, groups, clubs, churches and families donate enough food and funds to make this happen. The 500 Turkeys Team coordinates it all.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN OCTOBER 14 by 2pm

It is in your best interest to read all
information below before registering

There is no criteria to be eligible.  If you are in need, sign up for ONE meal gift.  It is between YOU & GOD.

Helpful hints for us both:

• ONE MEAL GIFT PER HOME AND MUST BE REGISTERED TO AN ADULT
• DO NOT register for a meal if you do not intend on picking it up so we are able to feed as many as possible this year.
• DO NOT register for a meal unless you are in need.  No judgement from us.  We only want to feed as many people as possible.
• Registration is and always will be, first to register, first to receive.
• You can register for yourself or another family.
• Duplicates, copies and such will be removed so others in need may partake.

We are a small group of people working hard to feed those in the most need in our communities all over NWI. We can not feed everyone but we do our best to help who we can. We ask for patience and grace with response time, questions & tech hiccups.

DISTRIBUTION WILL BE INSIDE THIS YEAR

• IMPORTANT – We ask that you pick up on the date and time on your reserved ticket.  We can not safely and quickly accommodate masses of people all at the same time.
• You can pick up ANYTIME during time your specific ticket states.  Coming at the beginning will probably be busy.
• There will be a period of time to wait as we serve each of you will love and grace.
• Please do not bring extra people with you as space is limited.
• No parking in the street or stopping street traffic will be allowed as per the city laws.  If the lot is full, we ask you wait patiently at another location in the city and return to see if there is space in the lot.
• YOUR KINDNESS AND GRACE ARE APPRECIATED AND EXPECTED.  THIS IS A MINISTRY THAT WANTS TO LOVE YOU AND HELP YOU.  Please respect the volunteers that are working hard to do that.
