The 52nd Alumni Turkey Project
This holiday season, the Drexel community came together in a big way to provide more than 2,000 holiday meals across Greater Philadelphia.
Thanks to the generosity of Alumni Turkey Project donors and volunteers, together we distributed frozen turkeys, bags of non-perishable sides and uplifting messages to more than 50 local organizations. Because of you, those facing financial hardships are able to celebrate the holidays with a comforting meal.

WHAT IS THE ALUMNI TURKEY PROJECT?
The Alumni Turkey Project is a cornerstone of Drexel's commitment to community. The University’s longest-running alumni tradition ensures that individuals and families across Greater Philadelphia have a comforting holiday meal to celebrate around. Thanks to generous donors and volunteers, more than 30,000 meals, complete with turkeys and sides, have been distributed to-date.
Meals are provided to communities through partner organizations like Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships, St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and the Stephen and Sandra Sheller 11th Street Family Health Services. Drexel students can also access non-perishable items through Mario's Market (the student food pantry).
