Turkeys for Vets Program 2025
“Where Veterans Rebuild with Honor”
Dear Community Partner,
As the holiday season approaches, we at Project New Hope Inc. are proud to launch our annual Turkeys for Vets Program — an initiative that ensures Veterans and Military Families across Central and Western Massachusetts can gather around their tables and enjoy the dignity of a warm, nourishing Thanksgiving meal.
This year, our goal is ambitious but achievable: 500 supermarket gift cards —
- 250 for our Worcester office
- 250 for our Westfield office
These $20 supermarket or Walmart gift cards will be distributed directly to Veterans and Military Families through Sully’s Veterans Food & Baby Pantries, empowering them to choose what best suits their family’s table — turkey, ham, fish, vegetables, or other essentials. Along with these gift cards, we provide all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings — stuffing, potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, and more — ensuring every Veteran household receives a complete and dignified holiday meal.
Why Your Support Matters
- Five hundred Families Fed: Every $20 gift card ensures one Veteran household enjoys a dignified Thanksgiving meal.
- 100% Local Impact: Your contribution stays in the community, directly supporting local Veterans through our Worcester and Westfield pantries.
- Honor & Respect: Beyond food, your generosity sends a clear message: We honor your service and sacrifice, and we have not forgotten you.
For many Veterans, holidays can be a challenging time. Your support helps turn what could be a season of struggle into one of warmth, togetherness, and gratitude.
How You Can Help
- Donate Gift Cards: Contribute $20 Walmart or supermarket gift cards in any quantity.
- Financial Contribution: Make a monetary donation, and we will purchase cards on your behalf.
- Host a Collection Drive: Engage your employees, church group, civic club, or community organization to collect cards and multiply your impact.
- Sponsor
a Block of Meals: Consider becoming a program sponsor — for example:
- $200 feeds 10 Veteran households
- $500 feeds 25 Veteran households
- $1,000 feeds 50 Veteran households
Your Impact at a Glance
- 500 gift cards = 500 Veteran households served
- $10,000 total goal = 100% of Veterans fed
- Countless smiles, full plates, and grateful hearts this Thanksgiving
Together, we can ensure that no Veteran family goes without Thanksgiving.
With your generosity, we will meet — and hopefully exceed — our goal of five hundred gift cards, bringing dignity, joy, and gratitude to those who have worn the uniform in service to our nation.
On behalf of all of us at Project New Hope Inc., and the Veterans we proudly serve, thank you for your kindness, patriotism, and willingness to make a difference.
With deepest gratitude,
