Bring Your Turkeys and Thanksgiving Groceries to X96's Food Drive!!

It's time for the annual X96 Food Drive for the Utah Food Bank.  I'll be bringing a Turkey and some other assorted groceries down to TelePerformance located at 1991 South 4650 West on Tuesday between 6AM and 7PM and I suggest you do the same.  Times are still rough, and maybe you've had a rough year.  Trust me, I know that feeling.

The 13th year of this century has lived up to it's unlucky reputation.  We've had months of medical issues, sending multiple family members to the doctor and hospital on multiple occasions.  The economics of those visits have taken a toll on the pocketbook.  The pure logistics of a variety of illnesses have destroyed any semblance of a regular schedule for months on end.  We're almost back to normal, hopefully tonight's trip to the doctor's is the last one for a long time.

But no matter what I've been through, I've always had food.  I've had a roof over my head.  My kids haven't gone hungry.  I may have had trials and tribulations, but there are always people in more need than me and it's my responsibility to help out any way I can.

The only way I made it through my trials, physically, mentally, emotionally and financially, was through the kindness and generosity of my family and friends.  And there are many people out there trying to survive much worse without any sort of support group.  They need a helping hand.  Even if it's just one meal, a couple extra dollars in their pocket, or just a kind gesture so they know the world isn't such a dark place,  it can mean the world to them.  So spending $20 at the grocery store and stopping by a radio remote on a Tuesday morning is the least you can do to help your fellow man

So gather your groceries, leave for work a little earlier than normal and drop them off to Kerry, Bill and Gina on November 26th.

I've done a little research that can increase your buying power.  All sorts of grocery stores are offering specials on frozen turkeys this week.  Since you have to go shopping this weekend anyway, why not pick up something extra for the food drive?  Here are some of the special offers available at all of the major grocery store chains this weekend.
