More than 500 Valley families in need received free turkeys and more thanks to donations through the Phoenix Rescue Mission.

The event was part of the Rescue Mission’s annual Hungry for Change holiday campaign, which runs from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31.

The Rescue Mission created the campaign in 2020 to bring awareness to how society has dealt with hunger in the past – primarily by treating the symptoms of hunger without addressing the root causes that stem from a lack of vocational development, education, counseling, mental health services and other resources.
