The MGK Turkey Drop 2025, Philadelphia’s beloved Thanksgiving charity tradition, is back for its 24th year and bigger than ever. Presented by ACME Markets, this one-day food drive is the city’s largest, inviting listeners and neighbors to come together for a cause that makes a genuine difference each holiday season.

On Tuesday, November 25, MGK’s air staff will be broadcasting live from The Kimmel Center on Broad Street in Center City from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., collecting frozen turkeys and monetary donations for City Team Philadelphia. If you can’t make it downtown, you can still donate at one of 12 select ACME Markets locations in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey – or contribute online anytime. The full list includes area favorites from South Philly, Havertown, and Feasterville to Audubon, Voorhees, and Woodbury, among others. This wide reach makes it easy for everyone across the tri-state to participate and give back.
