Donations of non-perishable items for the baskets will also be accepted, along with contributions of cash.

Money collected before Nov. 19 will be used to purchase additional turkeys, so those who want to donate cash should prior to that date. Checks can be made payable to the Plainfield Moose Lodge with the note "turkey drop."
