he eighth annual Turkey Drive for the Salvation Army in Vineland returns this
Thanksgiving. A year after a record 1,200 turkey dinners were purchased and distributed,
the drive’s organizers are looking to top that record number this year. The cost of spon-
soring a turkey dinner is $20.
With Vineland’s high poverty and unemployment rates, some of its residents look to the
Salvation Army for a helping hand, says Steve Plevins, the organizer of the Turkey Drive each
year. Plevins started this annual Turkey Drive eight years ago and expects to be able to feed a
good amount of people this year.
“This year we are going to have a huge amount of people or families we have to reach through
the Turkey Drive, and we’re thinking we’re going to have at least 800 families we’re going to
reach,” says Plevins.
Last year was the biggest success for the Turkey Drive with 1,200 turkeys distributed to the
people in the community. Plevins says it was such a sight to see the Salvation Army fill up with
donations like it did.
“Last year what happened was we had this whole room filled up, like we had cars all the way
to the railroad tracks and it was packed,” says Plevins. “The director said, ‘I want to let you know

bread? A 100 percent whole grain is
a great start. The 100 percent claim
is essential, though, because bread
can be labeled as whole grain even
if it is just 51 percent. A whole grain
should therefore be listed first on the
ingredient label. Breads made from
whole wheat, whole barley, brown
rice, whole oats, or whole flax all
contain far better nutrition than white
bread, which is stripped of many
nutrients, including fiber. A good
whole grain bread should have 4-plus
grams of fiber. Packaged bread in
the United States is enriched with
B-vitamins and iron, which is import-
ant. However, bread in the U.S. tends
to also be quite large. Be sure to look
for bread with between 80 and 100
calories. Lastly, when looking at the
nutrition label remember that a little
sugar is needed to activate the yeast
