Chartwells organizes UAF donation of turkeys to Fairbanks food bank
November 2, 2017
Each year Chartwells hosts an opportunity for the UAF community to contribute to those
in need. This year, Chartwells made it easy for UAF students and employees to donate
a whole, half or quarter turkey to the Fairbanks Community Food Bank for Thanksgiving.
Thanks to everyone's generous support, 500 turkeys will be delivered to the food bank
Wednesday, Nov. 15. The number of turkeys meets about half of the food bank's overall
turkey needs for the Thanksgiving meals it provides.
Food Service of Alaska will provide transportation and delivery of the donations.
Chartwells also recognizes cashiers Christine at Alaska Grill and Zane at Campus Cache
for excellent promotion of the initiative. Together, they sold almost half the turkey
donations, with Christine selling 150 and Zane selling 90. A rewarding experience
and fundraiser, Chartwells is thankful to everyone who donated, and looks forward
to find ways to give back to the Fairbanks community again next year.
