Local Businesses Come Together to Bless Families This Thanksgiving
<h3>BatteryJack, Inc. and Community Partners Join Forces for Momma Sue's Turkey Blessing Day</h3>
MINOOKA, IL — This Thanksgiving season, the spirit of giving is bringing local businesses together for a special cause. BatteryJack, Inc., along with several generous community partners, is proud to present Momma Sue's Turkey Blessing Day, a heartfelt effort to provide free Thanksgiving turkeys to local families.
The event will take place on Sunday, November 22, 2026, beginning at noon at Aces Garage Bar and Grill in Minooka, Illinois.
With a simple but meaningful message — "First Come, First Blessed!" — families are invited to stop by and receive a free frozen turkey while supplies last.
<h2>Local Businesses Making a Difference</h2>
What makes Momma Sue's Turkey Blessing Day especially meaningful is the support of local businesses that believe in taking care of their neighbors.
Aces Garage Bar and Grill has generously stepped forward to host the event, providing a welcoming location where the community can come together. Their support is an important part of making this special day possible.
Fat Boyz Pizza and Stuff, a longtime local business, is proudly joining the effort. After serving the community for many years, Fat Boyz is excited to give back this holiday season by helping provide Thanksgiving turkeys to local families.
The Hive Kitchen is also showing its commitment to the community by partnering with BatteryJack, Inc. Their participation reflects the importance of local businesses supporting the families and neighborhoods that support them throughout the year.
Ridge Chiropractor Center has joined the community partnership as well, helping demonstrate that businesses of all kinds can make a difference when they work together for a common cause.
Together, these businesses are helping turn a simple act of kindness into a meaningful Thanksgiving blessing.
<h2>A Turkey on Every Table, a Blessing in Every Home</h2>
The goal of Momma Sue's Turkey Blessing Day is simple: to make Thanksgiving a little brighter for local families.
Organizers hope to provide 200 frozen turkeys, weighing approximately 12–14 pounds each, with every $15 donated helping put a turkey on a family's table.
Beyond the turkeys, the event represents something even more important — neighbors helping neighbors, businesses giving back, and a community coming together to make sure kindness is shared during the holiday season.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
