SUMMARY: On Friday, people across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley were in a giving spirit, donating turkeys for the 12th Annual Turkey Drive. Some had personal reasons for giving, like honoring loved ones or giving back after a lottery win. The drive aims to ensure everyone has a holiday meal, and while it has ended, donations are still needed at local food banks. Cash donations also help, as every bit counts. Many giving back expressed gratitude and acknowledged the possibility of one day needing help themselves, emphasizing the importance of community support during tough times.
