RAM Pavement Makes a Difference at WFNZ's 22nd Annual Street Turkeys Food Drive

RAM Pavement's Commitment to Community Initiatives

RAM Pavement recently took part in WFNZ's 22nd Annual Street Turkeys food drive, a heartwarming event aimed at supporting local families in need. Held in vibrant Charlotte, North Carolina, the food drive has evolved into an essential gathering that extends beyond mere charity; it builds community ties and fosters local relationships.

This year, the Street Turkeys food drive successfully gathered an impressive 4,137 pounds of food, 320 turkeys, and raised over $23,450 in donations. Such contributions will go a long way in providing meals for vulnerable families, particularly around the holiday season. With a pronounced commitment to the Charlotte community, RAM Pavement played a significant role in this initiative—showcasing their dedication to social responsibility.

Participation That Matters

RAM Pavement proudly donated 52 turkeys, accounting for nearly one-sixth of all turkeys collected during the event. Utilizing a RAM truck to deliver the turkeys, the company illustrated their hands-on approach to community service. Members of the RAM Pavement team made it a point to unload the truck and interact with attendees, effectively embodying their values of community support and engagement.

Rob Miller, President of RAM Pavement, expressed, "This event embodies what RAM Pavement stands for. It's not just about business. It's about giving back, connecting with people, and being part of something bigger. Street Turkeys has a rich history, and we are proud to contribute in a meaningful way."

A Tradition of Generosity

This year marked RAM Pavement's sixth consecutive year contributing to the Street Turkeys initiative. The program has a history spanning over two decades, becoming a cherished tradition in Charlotte. As generations attend, we see participants who, as children, would attend the event with their families, now returning as donors. This cycle of giving illustrates the lasting impact of the food drive on the community.

Collaborating organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank and Nourish Up benefit from this generosity year-round, supplying essential resources that extend far beyond Thanksgiving and Christmas. A recurring theme in these efforts is the goal of ensuring no family goes hungry in Charlotte.
