UGA Turkeypalooza serves record number families

Over 1,300 Athens community members will have meals for Thanksgiving and the days beyond thanks to the University of Georgia’s 12th annual Turkeypalooza.

The Campus Kitchen at UGA, a program coordinated by the Office of Service-Learning, partners each fall with the Athens Community Council on Aging, UGArden and Public Service and Outreach to provide meals for food insecure residents.

“They’re all senior led families who are experiencing food insecurity for one reason or another, be that they have medical conditions where they can no longer cook for themselves, they’re living at or near the poverty line, or they’re on disability,” said Campus Kitchen coordinator Andie Bisceglia.
