Torklift announced that its 13th annual Kent Turkey Challenge has officially wrapped up, and thanks to the tremendous generosity of the Kent, Washington, community, this year’s drive was a remarkable success.
A grand total of 7,321 food items and $13,618 were collected in support of the Kent Food Bank, helping local families in need during the holiday season.
Each year, the Kent Turkey Challenge brings together local businesses, organizations and residents in a friendly competition to combat hunger in our community. This year’s results reflect the ongoing compassion and dedication of Kent’s citizens and partners who continue to show up for their neighbors, the company said.
