Jasmine Bridges, corporate engagement officer for Northwest Harvest, and Maritza Prince, food drive-operations coordinator for NW Harvest, accept a $16,000 check from Foster Farms for the turkey donation program on Tuesday.

In preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday, Northwest Harvest received a delivery of 800 donated turkeys – nearly 13,000 pounds, enough to serve 16,200 meals – from Foster Farms on Tuesday.

The turkeys will be distributed in the coming weeks to Northwest Harvest partner agencies to help feed Seattle-area families this Thanksgiving.
