The Badlands Toms Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is helping less fortunate families in the area by offering warm smiles and hearty meals this holiday season.
Through the Turkey Hunters Care program, the Badlands Toms Chapter is providing 40 turkeys to families in the area to help complete the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
"The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are times for family, but they are also a time when many families are in need," said NWTF CEO George Thornton. "Turkey Hunters Care is a great way for the NWTF's committed volunteers to help these families during some of the most celebrated holidays of the year."
The NWTF is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage. Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $372 million to conserve 17 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
