Drexel professional staff distributing food on Dec. 19 for the Alumni Turkey Project.
While certain aspects of the Drexel University’s 47th Alumni Turkey Project were changed this year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the mission and need for Drexel Alumni to provide holiday meals to Philadelphia families became more pronounced than ever.
“We know that this year has been very challenging on a personal level for many of the organizations and families that we work with,” said Drexel Alumni Board of Governors Chair Amish Desai ’03. “So, even though we knew the pandemic might make our efforts around the Alumni Turkey Project look different, we were more committed than ever to ensuring that we could continue to serve more than 2,000 families in the Philadelphia region, as we have done each year for more than four decades.”
