We are astounded by the generosity of the organizer, sponsors, and supporters of this year’s 8th Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. This event raised over $6,000 for the Bedford Food Pantry to benefit the many families who receive free groceries and dinners each week. The Turkey Trot is our most important fundraiser of the year, and we give our profound thanks to organizer Rich Hamilton and to all the people who made it such a great success.
Congratulations to over 300 runners and volunteers who braved the winter weather to start their holiday celebrations by helping others! We thank the students from the Class of 2015 and the other event staff who registered participants and ensured their safety all along the race course. We thank Bedford’s DPW, Fire Department, and Police Department for their wholehearted support of this event with their staff and resources. We thank Nancy at Bedford Florist for sponsoring this event through the years and all the local businesses who supported it with contributions.
Our all-volunteer organization at the Bedford Community Table/Pantry is most grateful to all of you volunteers who have so generously shared your time, talent, effort, and financial support with us and the guests we serve. This caring for others exemplifies the community spirit that makes Bedford a wonderful place for people to live together.
