Thank you for making Penn Medicine’s 18th Annual Turkey Toss a success!

Your hard work—lifting frozen turkeys, loading vehicles, and breaking down countless boxes—made a real difference. Thanks to our volunteers, three distribution sites, and the dedication of more than 20 community-based organizations, 1,010 families in our hospitals’ service area will enjoy a holiday meal without added stress.

Our volunteers are the heart of this event. Each year, my gratitude grows—and this year especially, as you powered through the rain at Grays Ferry with unwavering commitment. We deeply appreciate everyone who gives their time to care for others, and our community partners who never stop serving our shared neighborhoods.

Please enjoy the photos below of our incredible South and West Philadelphia volunteer teams. 😊

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season!
