Turkey Day Race Food Drive
In 2018 St. Mary's and St. Augustine's partnered with the Baldwinsville Kiwanis Turkey Day Race to hold a huge food drive for the first time! After seeing the success of the food drive, we made it our mission to continue to help those in the Baldwinsville community with this food drive every year! St. Elizabeth Ann Seton joined the cause in 2019.
​
This year, the need is even greater within our community, so together with our sponsor partners of
St. Augustine's, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and the Baldwinsville Kiwanis, we are proud to announce the seventh annual Turkey Day Race Food Drive!
​
The food collected during this drive is distributed to a variety of local charities including:​
-
The Baldwinsville Food Pantry
-
The Backpack Program, for which a special emphasis is placed on food that is healthy and easily prepared for/by children who are in need.
​
