As of yesterday, the Mid-South Food Bank had not yet received any turkeys donated for Thanksgiving. Hard Rock Cafe, which was already working on a promotion for World Hunger Year to end hunger throughout the world, decided it was time to take their efforts local. They purchased 12 turkeys to donate to the Food Bank. They’re challenging other members of the Beale Street Merchants Association and their fellow Memphians to increase that total.
Turkeys can be dropped off at the Hard Rock, which will see that they make it safely to the Food Bank. They’ve already received donations from Silky’s and Strange Cargo, and are hoping for more. You can drop the turkeys off at Hard Rock through Friday, November 19. If you have any questions you can call them at 901-529-0007.
