Bunker Hill Associates x Warren Tavern Turkey Drive
Harvest on Vine will feed 500 Charlestown families this Thanksgiving. Please consider sponsoring a Turkey Dinner for $35. Food insecurity is real and so are high food costs. This turkey drive is a partnership with the Warren Tavern born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has afforded the donation of over 1,000 turkeys to Harvest on Vine Charlestown Food Pantry since 2020.
Every dollar donated to the Bunker Hill Associates during the Drive goes toward the purchasing of frozen turkeys, and any surplus donations are passed along to Harvest on Vine. Donate here!
