Big River gives back

Dec. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Once again, Big River Telephone in conjunction with Schnucks, The Salvation Army, Mix 96.5, B 97.9 and Soft Rock 104.7, have teamed together for another successful Holiday Turkey Drive.  These organizations along with the donations from the community were able to bring holiday joy to families in the community.
The Holiday Turkey Drive is designed to help families in need during the holidays.  The Turkey Drive began November 1st, 2009 and ended November 30th, 2009.  With the combined efforts of Big River Telephone, Schnucks, Mix 96.5, B 97.9, Soft Rock 104.7, and the community, enough donations were collected to purchase turkeys so that The Salvation Army could provide meals for families during the holiday season.  
The Holiday Turkey Drive donations helped purchase 96 turkeys for thanksgiving meals this year, exceeding last year’s donations by 62.  Big River will be matching donations and providing an additional 96 turkeys for the remainder of the holiday season.  The combined efforts of all those who donated to the Holiday Turkey Drive helped brighten the holiday for others in the community.  
Video featuring volunteers from Big River Telephone, Mix 96.5 and the Salvation Army at the live Holiday Turkey Drive in front of Schnucks on November 21st can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKKKNTM_luI.


Big River Telephone wants to thank all of those who were able to donate to this cause.  You helped make a difference this holiday season!
