Turkeys fall on Tyndall Published Nov. 5, 2007 By Staff Sgt. Timothy R. Capling 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Tyndall Air Force Base chapel staff and first sergeant's have organized the 2007 Operation Turkey Drop to provide underprivileged families on base with holiday meals. "This is a great opportunity to express Team Tyndall's care and concern," said Lt. Col. Douglas Hall, 325th Fighter Wing chaplain. The Turkey Drop volunteers held a non-perishable food drive Nov. 3 at the commissary and are scheduled to hold another 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 17. A blue drop-box is at the commissary along with a shopping-suggestion list for anyone who wishes to donate to the cause. At 1 p.m. Nov. 18, the chapel has scheduled an assembly line to build the food boxes for each family. "Each box is tailored to each family based on how many members they have, ages of their children and whether or not they have a baby," said Airman Wesley Sutton, 325th FW chaplains' assistant and event coordinator. "In addition to the boxes, the chapel has been taking an offering to buy each family a turkey." The event has been held for more than five years. "We do it so every family at Tyndall has the opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal," said Airman Sutton. "We want them to be able to relax, celebrate and enjoy their holiday thoroughly." To volunteer for the program, contact any base first sergeant or Airman Sutton at 283-2925.
