This year, the UMB Staff Senate’s Community Outreach Committee and the UMB Office of Community and Civic Engagement are coordinating their annual Thanksgiving Drive in partnership with the University of Maryland Medical Center and WJZ-TV.
The goal this year is to secure funding for 300 turkeys ($7,500) by Nov. 25.
Every $25 contributed will provide a family of four one frozen turkey (12-16 pounds) to families connected to the Community Engagement Center, Hollins House, Poppleton Place, Vintage Gardens, James McHenry Elementary/Middle School, Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy, and Samuel Coleridge Taylor Elementary/Middle School.
