Food insecurity affects nearly 1.1 million people in New Jersey, prompting CBS News New York to collaborate with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey for the 25th annual Turkey Drive this Thanksgiving. On November 22, 2025, residents can contribute to this vital initiative by donating turkeys and other holiday food items at various locations across the state.
The Turkey Drive aims to alleviate hunger during the holiday season, encouraging community members to come together for a noble cause. Individuals interested in donating can visit designated sites throughout New Jersey on the morning of November 22. For those unable to attend in person, online donations are also welcomed, enabling everyone to participate in the effort to support local families in need.
CBS News New York will broadcast live from several locations during the event, providing an opportunity for community members to engage with the news team while making their contributions. This live coverage not only raises awareness about food insecurity but also showcases the community’s generosity and spirit.
To find a comprehensive list of donation locations and times, potential donors can visit the CBS News New York website. Each contribution, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in helping families enjoy a festive Thanksgiving meal.
By partnering with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, CBS News New York demonstrates its commitment to addressing hunger in the state. As the Turkey Drive marks its 25th year, the initiative underscores the importance of community support in combating food insecurity, especially during the holiday season.
The Turkey Drive is more than just a food donation event; it is a rallying call for New Jerseyans to unite in the fight against hunger. With the continued support of local residents, organizations, and businesses, the initiative hopes to make a significant impact this Thanksgiving and beyond.
