Default wanting to donate turkey from ACME

So, I was told I get a free turkey from ACME. Going to get it today. Is there anywhere I can donate it? I know it can be tough to donate perishable food items, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions...peferrably in the East Falls/Rox/Yunk/Andorra area...

Thanks

d.

check with a local school. Usually, schools go out and deliver Thanksgiving meal ingredients (turkey, stuffing, canned foods) to families in need. Great idea for your free bird!

Most area religious organizations have baskets they prepare and deliver, which is another idea.

There is a philly food back down near the stadiums.
They will want the reciept (to make sure it wasnt thawed and refrozen i guess) so you have to donate it the SAME DAY that you get it.
