This interaction in Austin, Texas marked the beginning of Operation Turkey, which has since developed into a nonprofit that delivers more than 30,000 meals to the less fortunate in 10 cities and five states. This year, some members of the Austin-based team at Foster & Houston came together to support Operation Turkey and help reach their goal of supplying 40,000 warm meals to those in need this Thanksgiving. ###### ![OT_FandHLaw_16.jpg](https://www.fosterhoustonlaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OT_FandHLaw_16.jpg?width=320&name=OT_FandHLaw_16.jpg)A Lot to Gobble   It takes a lot of volunteers and even more food to make Operation Turkey successful. Here’s a look at the Thanksgiving treats by the numbers: - Over 7200 pounds of turkey are cooked (that’s 500+ turkeys, y’all!) - A little over 8,000 water bottles have been collected - About 2,000 pounds of potatoes are mashed - More than 270 pies are sliced - There are 88 meals plated per minute by volunteers on Thanksgiving morning ###### Get Involved   ![OT_Logo_FANDHLAW.png](https://www.fosterhoustonlaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OT_Logo_FANDHLAW.png?width=116&name=OT_Logo_FANDHLAW.png)Operation Turkey is a volunteer opportunity for all ages. On Thanksgiving morning, adults help organize, plate, and deliver meals while children are asked to decorate takeout boxes with hand turkeys and write wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving. If Operation Turkey hasn’t made it to your city, there are still ways to fundraise, donate, and get involved.
