UPDATE (11/11): While there’s still time to reserve your turkey box for Thanksgiving, the Downtown Rescue Mission says they only have 170 turkey boxes left, due to the amount of people signing up Monday, Nov. 11. The remaining boxes will be reserved for people on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Mission says those boxes will likely be claimed in the morning sign-up period (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.), and they don’t anticipate having their afternoon sign-up period (1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.).
