This was by far the best campaign in our 13-year run! You were awesome! You CHANGED THE CONVERSATION!!! Your HUMANKINDNESS was overwhelming!!! You gave new meaning to THINK BIG!!! You showed the GOOD SIDE OF HUMANITY!!! You MADE A DIFFERENCE not only in our community, but also in the lives you touched with your generosity!!!

From all of us at Rea & Associates, we want to THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for helping us brighten the holidays for those in need.

This year, 65 individuals/entities supported our Turkey Drive, which included 17 new donors to our campaign. This year’s final donation amount was a whopping $37,792! With this, we were able to purchase 300 turkeys with the help of Grocery Outlet (thank you, Jason Lagan!) and contribute an additional $31,795 in funds to help Modesto Gospel Mission feed over 1,500 men, women, and children for the Thanksgiving holiday (pictured below). We also had an additional 2 turkeys dropped off at our office for delivery to the Gospel Mission.

The following are those who so graciously contributed to our 2025 Turkey Drive since our last listing:

THE SAGA CONTINUES

Those of you who have followed our Turkey Drives over the years I am sure will remember that for the past two years, one of our donors has showed up on the last day of our campaign and put us over the top for our goal each of those two years. WELL, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!

Yesterday at 4:45 pm, this same donor showed up and proceeded to write a check that matched the largest donation received so far this year!! Without apologies, I am proud to report that I teared up over this thrilling example of HUMANKINDNESS!

THANK YOU, JOHN AND MORIA BROUSE

Thank you for giving new meaning to our challenge of “THINK BIG”
Thank you for giving new meaning to our motto “HELLO HUMANKINDNESS”
Thank you for helping us show the good side of our community and the good side of humanity by helping feed over 1,500 people a wonderful Thanksgiving meal!
If my dad were alive today, I know he would look me in the face and tell me a phrase I have used before in our campaign... “O ye of little faith”.

So, for those of you who have not yet joined...Today is your day!

There is still time to help add the finishing touches to this picture... Don’t miss out on the warmth and joy of giving and don’t forget our motto:

“HELLO HUMANKINDNESS”

So, call in your pledges, drop off those contributions and turkeys before our final delivery to the Mission…
