The Bountiful Food Pantry is participating in the 2026 Davis County Thanksgiving Turkey Drive to assist families facing food insecurity. The organization is inviting the community to donate frozen turkey breasts and various traditional side dishes to help ensure local families can enjoy a holiday meal.
Donation Requests and Needs
According to the Bountiful Food Pantry, the annual turkey drive is designed to make the holiday brighter for neighbors in need. The pantry is seeking specific donations to help meet the needs of the community during the Thanksgiving season.
Requested food items include frozen turkey breasts, which can be either boneless or bone-in. The pantry is also requesting boxed stuffing, boxed mashed potatoes, canned yams, canned vegetables, gravy packets, and canned cranberries to complete holiday meals.
Scheduled Drop-Off Locations
The Bountiful Food Pantry has organized a specific donation drop-off event scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Residents can deliver their contributions to one of three designated locations:
- The Bountiful Food Pantry, located at 480 E 150 N in Bountiful.
- The Open Doors Food Pantry, located at 875 E UT 193 in Layton.
- The Kaysville LDS Church, located at 900 S Main St. in Kaysville.
Online Contribution Options
For those unable to attend the in-person drop-off event, the Bountiful Food Pantry offers an online donation option. Supporters can contribute financially through the organization's Givebutter page to help fund the holiday drive.
Community Distribution Efforts
The Bountiful City government is supporting the effort, noting that the annual Davis County Turkey Drive is taking place all month long throughout November. The city's social media announcement encouraged residents to share a meal and spread love by getting involved in the community drive.
Once collected, the donated turkeys will be distributed to families in need through various local resources, including food pantries, schools, and churches throughout Davis County.
Holiday Mission
The initiative aims to ensure that more families in the Davis County area have a meal to be thankful for this holiday season. The Bountiful Food Pantry expressed appreciation for the community for continuing to show up for their neighbors.
