A Morning of Gratitude: Discover Shine Bright Community Center’s 4th Turkey Giveaway!

On Saturday, November 23, Discover Financial Services’ Shine Bright Community Center (SBCC), in partnership with Conscious Alliance, celebrated its 4th Annual Turkey Giveaway with the Chatham community—and it was a record-breaking event! Lines began forming before dawn as neighbors eagerly awaited gifts of turkeys, $15 grocery gift cards, hot meals from nonprofit food provider Taste For The Homeless, and access to community resources. Within 90 minutes, 2,200 turkeys were handed out by Discover volunteers, many of whom were surprised by the event’s 11:30 a.m. wrap-up due to the overwhelming turnout. 

This giveaway was just one of the many ways the SBCC has supported the Chatham community throughout the year, and like the Spring ham and August backpack giveaways held in earlier months, its atmosphere was filled with music, smiles, and excitement from start to finish. 

A special thank-you goes out to Discover’s community partners — Conscious Alliance, Social Works, Gyrls in the H.O.O.D., Taste For The Homeless and others — and attendees for helping make this day a success!
