Throughout the year, tens of thousands of people from our area line up outside [CAMBA’s food pantry doors at 2241 Church Avenue](http://www.camba.org/Programs/FamilySupportServices/NutritionalServices/BeyondHungerEmergencyFoodPantry/tabid/145/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com) – a place that, for decades, [has served a growing variety of families](/blog/politics/at-camba-food-pantry-council-members-kick-off-program-to-battle-youth-unemployment#prettyPhoto), from the working poor to seniors and people whose unemployment benefits have run out, among many others. They – the veterans, the retired teachers, the school children, the young, and the old – wait patiently each month to stock up on the vegetables, bread and many other items at the pantry to make sure they and their families are able to eat in a city where between [1.3 and 1.4 million people live in a household that lacks sufficient food](https://nyccah.org/learn-about-hunger/hunger-new-york-city?ref=bklyner.com).

And, now, we have the chance to help our neighbors at a time when the presence of hunger can be particularly overwhelming, both emotionally and physically: Thanksgiving.

Last year, our community came together and gave more than $10,400 to the local non-profit [CAMBA](http://www.camba.org/?ref=bklyner.com), which meant they were able to [provide a full Thanksgiving meal to hundreds of local families](/blog/volunteering/after-cambas-successful-turkey-drive-local-families-have-a-happy-thanksgiving). We think we can do that again, and do it even better.

This year, [CAMBA’s Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry](http://camba.org/Programs/FamilySupportServices/NutritionalServices/BeyondHungerEmergencyFoodPantry/tabid/145/menuheader/2/submenuheader/13/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com) — which serves 4,300 people each month at its Church Avenue location — once again aims to **[bring 500 turkeys to local families this Thanksgiving](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/500-turkeys-for-500-families--501?ref=bklyner.com)**, and they hope you’ll join them.

CAMBA always gives what they can, but turkeys can stretch a pantry budget to the breaking point. So they’re asking for some help bringing Thanksgiving turkeys to hundreds of families in our community:

- **For $30**, you can supply a turkey and all the trimmings for a family of six.
- **For $60**, you’ll bring that to two families.
- **For $120**, you’ll ensure that four families enjoy a memorable Thanksgiving meal.

When they did this a year ago, support flooded in from neighbors throughout our area, and the “500 Turkeys for 500 Families” drive was a huge success – which showed when, during Thanksgiving week, the line of people waiting for turkeys stretched down Church Avenue – and no one left without a Thanksgiving meal in hand. Let’s make sure that happens again this year. Please [give if you can](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/500-turkeys-for-500-families--501?ref=bklyner.com)!
