We are hugely thankful and humbled for all 89 of our neighbors’ contributions to our and [CAMBA](http://www.camba.org/?ref=bklyner.com)‘s **[500 Turkeys for 500 Families](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/500-turkeys-for-500-families?ref=bklyner.com) Thanksgiving Food Drive**–thanks to all of you, 184 families will have a proper Thanksgiving dinner this year. However, we’ve still got **a little over a week to go**, and our ultimate goal is over twice the $4,616 that’s been raised so far.

We know sometimes there are limited resources to go around, but every $25 (that’s two movie tickets instead of a night in with Netflix, or three cocktails and tips at a neighborhood bar) feeds a family of six–and CAMBA is able to stretch a dollar further than you, or anyone you could hand money on the street, could in a grocery store. If you are able to offer some of your good fortune to others, now is the time.

To our neighbors who have contributed already, **thank you for giving up some of your own resources to help other Brooklynites have a wonderful holiday experience.** For anyone who’s considered contributing but hasn’t gotten around to it yet, please take a moment to think about how it feels to sit around a well-stocked table with the ones you love, and [decide if contributing is right for you](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/500-turkeys-for-500-families?ref=bklyner.com).
