The community-wide drive collects and distributes over 15,000 holiday turkeys and complete holiday dinner food boxes with fresh vegetables, stuffing, and cranberry sauce to families facing food insecurity across the greater Sacramento region. Families with children ages 10 and older can register for youth-friendly volunteer packing and sorting shifts, while families with younger kids can experience hands-on gratitude by dropping off frozen turkeys and shelf-stable goods at the drive-through collection hub. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Flat, paved warehouse and outdoor staging areas; drive-through donation lanes allow families with infants to donate without leaving their vehicle. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Climate-controlled administrative building provides accessible restrooms with infant changing tables and waiting area seating. • Age Suitability: Youth volunteer warehouse shifts open to ages 10+ with an adult; drive-through donation drop-offs welcome all ages from toddlers to seniors. • Sensory Tips: Warehouse volunteer sorting can be busy with active movement and uplifting music; drive-through drop-off lane is gentle, calm, and quick. ## Similar picks in Sacramento - [Sacramento Hmong New Year Festival](https://grassyknees.com/sacramento/activities/sacramento-hmong-new-year-festival--listing-a0a8ddb794693e19fd1740c5) — Nov 27 – Nov 29 · 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM · Cal Expo · checked Nov 9.
