Here’s How You Can Provide a Turkey for a Local Family in Need

Your Evansville Rescue Mission served 2,300 food baskets, at the Gobbler Gathering last year, and they expect to serve many more this year. You can help families have a better Thanksgiving by texting ‘GOBBLER’ to 313131. Through that link, you’ll be able to purchase a turkey for a local family.

Evansville Rescue Mission's eighth annual Drumstick Dash is the run/walk where participants can move their feet so others can eat! Benefiting their annual Thanksgiving food basket giveaway, the Gobbler Gathering, the Drumstick Dash will take place at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 16. ERM’s Drumstick Dash will be starting and finishing at downtown Evansville’s C.K. Newsome Community Center (100 East Walnut Street, Evansville, IN 47713).

With a new race route in Evansville, Indiana, there will be two running/walking distances registrants can choose from: an 8K (less than five miles) distance that will pass through historic Bosse Field (home to the Evansville Otters) and Garvin Park and a 5K distance. FEE IS $25 for 5K and $35 for 8K
