Many members of the sales and promotions staff also took to the streets to help the collect throughout the area. Without all of this help from people in house at Beasley Philly, Turkey Drop wouldn't be possible.

Speaking of making it possible, the amazing partners who stepped up to donate turkeys and monetary donations to put meals on people's plates for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Tom Lofland and ACME Markets, our co-sponsor who allow us to take over space in their parking lots throughout the area, while also supporting City Team through their donatation.
