Doc & Gayle Young Food Drive
Donate on-line year-round! Select "Doc & Gayle Young Food Drive" from the "category" pull down menu.
The Doc & Gayle Young Food Drive marks its 23rd year in 2009. The drive is a two month-long campaign conducted by the Austin Apartment Association and members of the AAA Community Service committee each fall to raise funds in order to purchase family food packs. 100% of collected funds go toward buying family food packs for needy families and individuals in Austin.
Each food pack has all the items necessary for a family of five to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, including a 10-pound turkey. What’s more, a food pack contains enough food staples to feed a family of five for the next few days: a turkey, ten pounds of potatoes, stuffing, yams, corn, green beans, rolls, flour, sugar, beans, rice, fruit and more.
The Austin Apartment Association Thanksgiving Food Drive began in 1986 when the AAA Community Service committee, headed by association volunteer Steve Cartelli, raised $600 to feed hungry Austinites. In 2008, the committee raised over $37,000 in donations. AAA volunteer member Michael “Doc” Young has helmed the committee since 1987. Co-chairs Kim McGregor and Ben Wells recently joined Doc to help lead the crew.
