In this quick follow-up to our Turkey Drive kickoff episode, Bennett Forrest sits down with Miale Team agent Shane Mason to share exciting news:

This year, our Annual Turkey Drive is expanding to Shelton!

Shane breaks down the need in Fairfield & New Haven Counties, why the expansion matters, and how local partner Marketplace Kitchen & Bar stepped up to host a second drop-off location.

If you’re shopping that morning, swinging by for brunch, or just want to make a difference, this episode has everything you need to know.

Marketplace Kitchen & Bar – Shelton

811 Bridgeport Ave, Shelton, CT 06484

📞 (203) 538-5524

🗓 Saturday, November 22

⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Located right near Big Y, ShopRite, and Stop & Shop — making grab-and-drop donations incredibly easy.

West Hartford Town Hall (Rear Lot)

🗓 Sunday, November 23

⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Last year, our team collected 155 turkeys — and this year, we’re aiming much higher by activating multiple counties and community partners. All donations support Connecticut Foodshare, helping families across the state enjoy a meaningful Thanksgiving meal.

If you can’t make it in person, monetary donations go even further — Connecticut Foodshare can stretch $1 into up to 5 meals.
