Turkey giveaway

This holiday season, the Potsdam Food Co-op is giving thanks the best way we know how — by giving back. As a community-owned cooperative, we believe everyone deserves access to good, wholesome food. That’s why we’re hosting a Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway, to help ensure that every table in our community has something to celebrate this Thanksgiving.

We invite you to nominate yourself or a family in need to receive a free turkey — no questions asked, just kindness shared. Whether you’re facing a tough season or know someone who could use a little help, we want to make sure good food and warm community spirit are shared with everyone.

Nominations can be submitted online at www.potsdamcoop.com/turkey-giveaway. Submissions will be accepted through November 14th, and the pickup will take place on November 21st.

From our Co-op family to yours, thank you for being part of a community that cares. Together, we can make sure everyone has something good on the table this Thanksgiving.

Community-owned. Community-fed.

  • We will have at least four turkeys to give away! We may have more if we have any extras available from our pre-orders.

  • These turkeys are all-natural and free-range from Ferndale Market, a farm in Minnesota, which partners with National Co+op Grocers, of whom the Potsdam Food Co-op is a member.

  • The turkeys will be frozen. If chosen, you will need to provide plenty of time to thaw your turkey in the fridge.

    *It takes about 24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds to thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator, or 30 minutes per pound using the cold water method. Refrigerator thawing is the safest method, while the cold water method is faster but requires changing the water every 30 minutes. Never thaw a turkey at room temperature.
