Record-Breaking Generosity: Over 1000 Turkeys Donated in Bethlehem’s Annual Drive

The Turkey Drive at Coca-Cola Park, a joint effort by the IronPigs, Provident Bank, and New Bethany, was a testament to Bethlehem's community spirit and generosity. With the cost of living rising and the demand for food assistance doubling, the drive collected a record 1,075 turkeys. These donations will be distributed through various nonprofits, including the Ortiz Ark Foundation, which saw a significant turnout of people in need. The event underscores the ongoing need for support in the community, with opportunities to help available through New Bethany's website.
