YMCA of Snohomish County and Tapped Public House to Deliver 6,000 Cooked Thanksgiving Meals in Washington, With About 700 Volunteers Including Roughly 250 Drivers and More Than 2,400 Pounds of Turkey Across Five Hubs
The YMCA of Snohomish County in Washington and Tapped Public House will deliver 6,000 fully cooked Thanksgiving meals to local families in need this Thanksgiving, with volunteers bringing a full holiday spread, from turkey to pumpkin pie, straight to families doors on Thanksgiving Day.
Sean Drought, co-owner of Tapped Public House, said Thanksgiving is the one holiday built entirely around food, that when a family cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal they are in a really tough spot, and that the partners want to make it as easy as possible for families to gather and celebrate together.
What began six years ago as Drought effort to meet a need in local schools has become a community partnership led alongside Cynthia Kelly, District Executive Director of the Mukilteo Family YMCA, starting as a single pickup location in Mukilteo serving 500 meals and now running through five delivery hubs in Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe and Mukilteo.
Cooking begins five days before Thanksgiving in three restaurant kitchens and includes more than 2,400 pounds of turkey, about 700 volunteers, including roughly 250 drivers, will prepare and deliver the meals with all labour donated, and the effort is supported by the City of Mukilteo, local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, US Foods, Travis Industries, J2 Consulting and the Boeing Leadership Network.
With meal requests expected to top 6,000, the need for donations and volunteers has never been greater, and 60 dollars provides a full Thanksgiving meal for a family of four.
