Description
Since Nov. 1, the Krull family has been collecting food donations for what has become a new Thanksgiving tradition in their community of Normandy Park.
The family's pet turkeys are on display in an effort to attract more people and more donations. The public can vote to pardon or prepare the turkeys for Thanksgiving.
The food drive is something the family started doing with their turkeys in 2018 and has grown to be a popular community affair that donates all of the collected food to the Transform Burien Community Outreach Center. Their food bank serves hundreds of people a week and outreach director Greg Henken said the turkeys generate a big boost.
“They provide this abundance of food that’s generated through the community and that’s a blessing,” Henken said.
Donors simply place the items in the collection bin of their choice. One says “dinner” and the other says “pardon.”
Candace and Tay Krull host the drive with their sons Ray and Daniel and say talking turkey to feed neighbors in need has become a yearly highlight.
“This is the fifth time we’ve done this and the community really gets behind it. We even had the local police stop by last night to see what the vote count was so they could help,” Candace said.
