Kids Oneida is giving back to Mohawk Valley families with their annual turkey drive that provides Thanksgiving dinners.

Central New York families won’t be missing out on a Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Thanks to generous donations and volunteers throughout the community.

Kids Oneida and First Source Federal Credit Union have gathered all the fixings for a proper thanksgiving meal for 125 local families Kids Oneida helps daily.  The non-profit says this just one way to take the added stress of the holidays off people’s shoulders so they can have time to enjoy.

“We really do just look to provide them with that little bit extra to help them overcome whatever life obstacle that they have and sometimes just a home cooked meal, that’s what family is all about.  And if we can have and ensure that our families are having a true thanksgiving dinner and they can come around the table, that’s what Kids Oneida is all about and that’s why we’re here today so they have that one less stress off their shoulders and be able to enjoy each other on such a special day.”

Kids Oneida and First Source staff will be delivering the turkey day packages tomorrow across Herkimer and Oneida Counties.
