About FCF

In 1999, Frank Cordova went to pick up his wife from the school where she worked right before the Thanksgiving break. While picking her up, Frank met a little boy.  Frank asked him if he was excited to eat some turkey during Thanksgiving.  The boy told Frank that his family couldn’t afford a turkey.  Frank was so moved, that he provided the turkey for that family in 1999. From there, Frank began the annual Latino Community Turkey Drive, seeking to provide low-income families with free turkeys over the Thanksgiving holiday.

​

Every year, the Latino Community Turkey Drive has purchased and gathered turkeys and distributed them through selected Title I schools. This year, we're setting a goal of 2,000 turkeys.

It's a tall order, but with the community's help, we're up to the challenge.
