Mony Nop Turkey Drop Asking For Donations To Tri-Valley Haven

LIVERMORE, CA — Realtor and community activist Mony Nop is again hosting his annual Mony Nop Turkey Drop to benefit Tri-Valley Haven.

Throughout the month of November, community members are invited to drop off a frozen turkey, gift card, or cash donation to help over 800 local families in need receive food and gifts during the holiday period. Donations can be dropped off at the Grocery Outlet at 1320 Railroad Avenue.

Distribution will take place at the Turkey Drop on Sunday, Nov. 19 from 10 am to 1 pm in front of Livermore City Hall.

“Eight years ago, Tri-Valley Haven informed me that they did not have enough turkeys to provide for all of the Tri-Valley families in economic need,” said Nop, who grew up in war-torn Cambodia. “Growing up very poor, I know how difficult it was to go to bed hungry. I wanted to ensure that every family would receive a turkey. I spoke to members of my team, Mony Nop Real Estate, and we came up with the idea to host an annual event to collect donated turkeys for families in need. The idea of the Mony Nop Turkey Drop was born. My team also suggested that I had to wear a turkey costume to help get support for the cause. As such, I have been wearing the costume at the turkey drop event ever since!”
