Kings Donates 100 Turkeys to the Dedham Food Pantry
Kings in Dedham donated 100 turkeys to the Dedham Food Pantery as part of their Bowl - A- Turkey program.
On Wednesday afternoon, Kings in Dedham donated 100 turkeys, weighing 12 to 14 pounds each, to the Dedham Food Pantry as part of the Bowl-a-Turkey program.
Between November 1 and 21, King’s would donate a turkey for every turkey that was bowled. A turkey is when a bowler rolls three strikes in a row. Whenever the achievement occurred, whoever bowled the turkey would have a certificate hung on the wall.
The annual event, now in its second year, was just in time for Thanksgiving and Director of Marketing Doug Warner said that it was a win-win situation for everyone.
