MGK Turkey Drop 2023 will take place on the morning of Tuesday, November 21, 2023. All listeners can visit one of the 12 ACME locations to make a donation as well as the Kimmel Center. Here is your list of the kinds of donations we will be accepting.
102.9 WMGK partners with ACME, CityTeam Philadelphia, and Dietz & Watson to collect donations to give to families who are less fortunate before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Kimmel Center will be our primary location. The Matt Cord Show with Steve Vassalotti will also broadcast live from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. encouraging people to stop and make their donations, and will stay on site until noon that day to help collect turkeys.
The rest of the MGK air staff will be at various locations to help with the collections. We will thank our amazing listeners for their generosity. The event has created the perfect sense of community and hospitality in the days leading up to Thanksgiving in past years.
What You Can Donate:
The donation link for MGK Turkey Drop will be available soon in the weeks leading up to the collection. Check the main event page in the weeks leading up to the 21st, two days before Thanksgiving, for more updates.
The ACME locations are scattered all throughout the tri-state area. There are three locations in South Jersey, two in the city of Philadelphia, and seven in the PA suburbs.
Each store will open at 7 a.m. on the morning of the 21st, and MGK will collect donations until 12 p.m. Choose one of the 12 locations closest to you. Everyone at 102.9 WMGK hopes to see you on the 21st for one of the best community traditions leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday.
