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.
