The High Five Turkey Drive returns for its ninth year! Uniting Townsquare Media and the Aroostook County Action Program (ACAP) to support families right here in the St. John Valley. As the holiday season approaches, our goal is simple and urgent: keep food on the table for neighbors who need a hand.
Food banks and pantries are a year-round lifeline in our communities. They help seniors stretch fixed incomes, make sure kids don't miss meals, and bridge the gap for working families facing tough choices between groceries, fuel, and other essentials. This drive powers that lifeline, stocking shelves before the holidays and strengthening local support well beyond Thanksgiving.
What makes the High Five Turkey Drive special is how it keeps generosity close to home. Every donation made this month stays in the St. John Valley, benefiting the food pantries that serve your friends, coworkers, and classmates. When you give here, you feed here.
Over the years, this effort has become a cornerstone of community care. Local businesses, schools, civic groups, and residents rally together to make a tangible impact, one register donation at a time. That same spirit fuels this year's drive.
How to Help (All November Long)
-
Donate at the register any time you shop at John's throughout November.
- Encourage your workplace, team, or club to make a collective gift or friendly challenge.
- Spread the word—share a photo, tag a friend, and invite others to give.
Whether you've supported the drive for years or you're giving for the first time, every dollar counts. Together, we can make the holidays a little brighter and strengthen the safety net that our neighbors rely on.
