ODESSA/MIDLAND/SAN ANGELO, TEXAS - On Tuesday United Supermarkets launched their annual program, Turkey Bucks, in Midland, Odessa, San Angelo and parts of New Mexico.

Turkey Bucks is a program designed to help raise money for those dealing with food insecurity as the holiday season approaches.

From Nov. 1 to Nov. 14, guests will have the opportunity to make a donation at the register when they are finished shopping.

“We are so excited to once again kick off Turkey Bucks this holiday season,” John Jameson, regional vice president for the United Family, stated in the press release. “It means the world to us to be in a position to help families who are dealing with food insecurity during this time of the year. We encourage our guests to donate what they can.”

The donations will go to several food banks, food pantries and other charitable organizations across the region. This includes West Texas Food Bank, The Food Depot, St. James Episcopal, Storehouse New Mexico, El Ranchito de los Niños, Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico, and Food Bank of the Concho Valley.
