The 8th Annual Turkey Teacher Food Drive is underway now!

From Nov 1 – 19, help us fill our Backpack Program shelves - and crown your child’s
teacher the new Turkey Teacher Champion!
  • Every donation earns points for your student’s class.
  • Double points for most-needed items like peanut butter crackers, ramen, and granola bars.
  • $1 = 5 points when given through your school’s PTO.
  • All items must be individually packaged.

Community Partners — We Need You Too!
  • This year, local businesses, churches, and civic groups can join the fun by becoming Turkey Teacher Grade-Level Sponsors.
  • Choose a K-5 grade level, host your own mini-drive, and we’ll spotlight your support on district pages while your donations help students in need.
  • Email Allison at alawson@cfcards.net to claim your grade level.
Let’s show that Cardinals care - every item, every snack, every dollar makes a difference.

As we work together on our Turkey Teacher Food Drive, we also want to share help that’s already here in Camden. If you or someone you know could use support with food this season, visit this page for local food pantries and free meal programs.

Thank you to The Hub for compiling these resources. Every act of kindness matters - thank you for caring for our community.
