The Nashville Rescue Mission is dedicated to helping the hungry, homeless and hurting, and we are so honored to have such great neighbors. We've done turkey drives the past two seasons to help the Mission collect the 1,000 turkeys and foodstuffs required to throw their annual banquet, and we'd like to solidify the tradition of giving back with your help.
Here's the deal: Anytime in the next two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, drop off your donation (from the options below) to the Nashville Rescue Mission (You can find their donation center at 616 7th Avenue South, across the street from TMR headquarters, and entry by the American flag). They are open Monday-Saturday 7am-7pm. Bring your donation receipt to the Third Man storefront and immediately receive 10% off your purchase PLUS be entered to win our big Thanksgiving Prize Pack (detailed below).
One Prize Pack entry will be given for each donation of either:
a) One turkey (fresh or frozen), of sizable weight
— or —
b) Three of the following items:
- Cranberry Sauce
- Green Beans, Corn, Mixed Vegetables (#10 cans please)
- Corn Bread Mix
- Cheddar Cheese
- Dinner Rolls
- Sausage
- Coffee
- Desert Pie
- Stuffing
- Sugar
- Coffee Creamer
In planning your donation, please be mindful of what you'd like on YOUR Thanksgiving table, and shop accordingly.
The Thanksgiving Prize Pack will be bursting at the seams with Third Man Records goodness: chock full exclusive records like test pressings and colored vinyl, random bits of dust and cake crumbs, leftover motor oil and perhaps even some holiday cheer. While we'd love to detail its contents, we're afraid they must be kept a secret. All we can promise is that it won't disappoint. The winner will be chosen at random on Monday. November 30th.
For those of you who would like to contribute but are out of town, feel free to give to the Mission directly online using our dedicated link. Your donation of $15 or more enters you automatically into the Thanksgiving Prize Pack drawing.
We THANK YOU in advance for helping us help others. We've said it before, and we'll say it again, we have it so good having you all around.
I wouldn’t put it past TMR to forget about this giveaway. They have been known to be really disorganized with their events (cyrotype shirt printing, Detroit branch opening). On the other hand they may have sent an email to the winner and they haven’t responded back yet. Maybe they’re just giving them time to reply back before they draw another name. Either way they should post some kind of announcement that a winner has been chosen. And a discloser of the prize pack contents would be nice too.
I would love to just see a post about it, even if the winner wants to be anonymous I’d love to see what was in the prize pack. I agree, everyone who donated to this worthy cause was a winner!
@Dan_Halen I’m assuming we lost cause the winner probably got notified yesterday. If that’s the case it is not me. But I hope they had a bang up delicious meal for everyone at the mission. I had a great time getting things together for the mission last year. I’ve been hunting through the house for toys my kids have never opened again to donate. Their grandparents go overboard. Wondering if there will be a similar donation fave for Detroit. Lots of hungry cold folks everywhere this time of year!
And the winner is…???
Do we have a winner yet???
When will they announce the winner??
Tues. They know cause it’s their dedicated link. :)
You busy litle bees. Who’s the big winner?
I also donated through The Mission’s link. There was no place to reference TMR. Is there an additional step we need to make?
Hi. I also have paid using PayPal. And not sure if I am entered into the raffle. Please let us know if we need to email a copy of the receipt or something.
