Turkey Basket Brigade
Rose & Womble Realty has
distributed Thanksgiving baskets to families in need for
the past 18 years. This project has grown from our first year basket count of 25
to over
650 last year. Each Basket contains a turkey, stuffing, apples, potatoes,
canned vegetables, gravy and rolls. We work closely with the local social services
offices, Friends of the Elderly, Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing and the military
to find families in need of a Thanksgiving meal. Deltaville Market and Richfoods
provide the best quality food items at the most affordable prices.
"Wow, what a surprise it was to be given a food basket last Thanksgiving. I have a wife and
child and we were not expecting it. The food was very satisfying. We often struggle financially
and the food came at a great time. We are fortunate to have people in the community who support
the military."

"Rose & Womble Realty should be commended for what they do. Their Thanksgiving food basket was
such a big help to my wife and children who were very surprised and thankful for getting all
of the tasty food. There was enough food for my entire family and we didn't have to purchase
anything else for our Thanksgiving meal. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do."

"On behalf of the Chesapeake Redevelopment and Housing Authority and the residents
within our community, I would like to express my appreciation to you and your staff
for your generous donations of holiday food baskets. With the generous support of
people and organizations like you, we were able to help many families and individuals
meet their essential food goals. Thank you once again, and we look forward to your
continued support."
