Billy Grant of Grants Restaurant and Restaurant Bricco Turkey Drive 2009

October 14, 2009 By 11 Comments

Hello all,

This year we are attempting to sell 300 turkeys between both our restaurants to go this holiday season to needy families in Central Connecticut. Last year Food Share distributed 16,803 turkeys to hungry families. This year there is a 34% increase in need since last year. More than 100,000 individuals in Hartford counties are in need of food assistance each year, among them is 40,000 children! These are real increases of new individuals in need of turkeys this year. Literally these are people who have already signed up to receive turkeys. Being a chair person for Share our Strength fighting childhood hunger I see this as the perfect opportunity to step in and help out.

This is how it will work:
I have pre-ordered 300 turkeys from Statewide Meat & Poultry of New Haven. We will be paying a $1 a pound and the turkeys will range from 12-14lb each. I would like to charge $20 a turkey and donate the additional $5-$6 to Food Share for the fixings. The turkeys will be delivered to Food Share on November 13th and food share will be in charge of distributing the turkeys to the families in need. I would like to start this promotion on November 1st and attempt to sell the turkeys through November 12th.

Customers will be able to phone in their turkey order and pay $20 per turkey with a credit card (Grants 860-236-1930 or Bricco 860-233-0220). Our server staff will also be able to ring you up while you’re dining in the restaurant. We will collect email addresses and choose a raffle winner at the end and I will prepare a special tasting dinner for you and 3 of your friends at Grants Restaurant or Restaurant Bricco.
