Food Bank for Larimer County Turkey Drive 2025

The holidays in Colorado, like across the world, are about loving and helping one another; there are many in Northern Colorado that need help for the 2025 holiday season. The Food Bank for Larimer County's annual Turkey Drive looks to help nearly 5,000 families, while giving us the chance at free beer.

For 12 hours on November 20, 2025, The Food Bank for Larimer County, along with New Belgium Brewing, will be collecting frozen turkeys to get to families in need. A hearty meal can not only provide nourishment, but also lift spirts; it's a win-win. For some that donate, it could be a win, as well: Donate a turkey, and get a coupon to receive a free six-pack of New Belgium beer.

The holidays can get "crazy busy" for a lot of us: running all over getting shopping done, figuring out schedules, dealing with extended family. Those hassles, however, pale when compared to those struggling to put food on the table here at the end of 2025. With benefits being halved/delayed, and furloughed workers not getting paid, many people could use a turkey.

For 2025, "Tour de Turkey" will have two 12-hour locations set up, one in Fort Collins and one in Loveland, hoping to take in at least 4,700 frozen turkeys. We just have to swing by, with a frozen-solid turkey (to make sure it stays fresh.) The first 250 people at each location will get the coupon good for one six-pack of New Belgium beer, redeemable at New Belgium (21+ only, and one six-pack per household.)
