1st Franklin Sponsors The Joy FM’s “T-Shirts for Turkeys” Drive

For the 11th year in a row, 1st Franklin continues to be a proud sponsor of The Joy FM’s “T-Shirts for Turkeys” Drive. Year after year, employees from our Georgia branches head out to support this worthy cause. The program allows for anyone willing to donate a frozen turkey or $10 grocery store gift card to receive a free t-shirt. These donations go directly to the freezers of local ministries and food banks to help the less fortunate in the local communities.

Across many of our Georgia cities, The Joy FM radio station, 1st Franklin and Chic-fil-A came together and helped collect 37,423 turkeys. That is 7,000 more turkeys than the previous year! In addition to the turkeys, over $124,000 was raised for local ministries and food pantries across Georgia.

Organizations like the Carroll County Soup Kitchen, Griffin’s Five Loaves and Two Fish food pantry, Douglasville’s Pantry House and many more, were all beneficiaries of such a wonderful cause.

1st Franklin would like to thank all of our employees and community members that came out and made this fundraiser such a success. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
