Bring a frozen turkey and receive a newly designed JOY FM T-shirt as a thank-you! You can also give a $15 “paper turkey” donation or a $15 gift card from a local grocery store.
Together, we can share the love of Jesus through something as practical and personal as a meal. Donations need to be dropped off at our Awaken Outreach Center from 5pm to 7pm.
