NOVEC’s Operation Turkey food drive is underway until Nov. 13 at 3 locations

Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative’s group of employee volunteers, NOVEC HELPS, is asking area residents to donate non-perishable food to the Operation Turkey drive to help provide Thanksgiving meals for low-income people in Prince William County.

NOVEC HELPS will accept non-perishable food donations weekdays through Nov. 13 at its three offices in Manassas, Gainesville and Woodbridge. See addresses and times below.

SERVE, a campus of Northern Virginia Family Service, and ACTS, Action in Community Through Service, will distribute the food to people who need assistance. Anyone requiring a receipt must drop donated items at the SERVE or ACTS locations.

Donna Snellings, NOVEC HELPS executive director, says, “One of NOVEC’s guiding principles is to serve the community with more than electricity. Helping to feed the needy through Operation Turkey is one way NOVEC and its members serve others every November.”

Suggested Food Items
Breads and muffin mixes, Bisquick, instant mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, boxed desserts, sugar, flour, evaporated milk, pie crusts, and canned meats, vegetables, cranberry sauce, fruits, pie filling, and gravy.
