New Bethany, Provident Bank, Jaindl Farms and Lehigh Valley IronPigs Unite for Turkey Drive

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - EntSun -- As the holiday season approaches, New Bethany, Provident Bank, Jaindl Farms and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs are joining forces for the annual Bob Price Memorial Turkey Drive on Friday, Nov. 20, 2026. The community-wide initiative aims to collect 2,500 turkeys to help ensure neighbors experiencing food insecurity across the Lehigh Valley can celebrate Thanksgiving with a traditional holiday meal.

Community members are encouraged to visit the ballpark at Jefferson Park in Allentown from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. to donate 10- to 12-pound frozen turkeys.  The collected turkeys will be distributed to 25 local area nonprofit agencies, schools, and community organizations throughout the Lehigh Valley, helping ensure families across the region have access to a Thanksgiving meal.

"Thanksgiving is a time when people come together around a shared meal, and every neighbor deserves the opportunity to experience that sense of connection and belonging," said John Marc Rittle, Executive Director of New Bethany. "

Last year's drive distributed over 2,000 turkeys across the Lehigh Valley. Of those, 300 went directly to New Bethany neighbors, who also received traditional Thanksgiving sides. This year, the four partnering organizations aim to collect 2,500 turkeys to expand the drive's impact and help more neighbors experiencing food insecurity celebrate Thanksgiving with dignity.

"Collaborative leadership means bringing people and organizations together around a shared purpose to make a meaningful impact in our community," said Andrea Reid, vice president and corporate events manager, Provident Bank. "The Bob Price Memorial Turkey Drive is an example of how we can turn that shared commitment into action."
