The 11th Annual Big Red ‘1’ Turkey Run will be held Saturday November 17, 2018 at Fort Riley. The Turkey Run is for the families of the Warrior Transition Battalion. These families often find themselves transitioning out of the active military or may remain active. This year, per information provided from Fort Riley there are 600 families that will need assistance. Volunteers are needed to gather food as well as distribute the food at Fort Riley. Many members of the Warrior Transition Battalion have been severely injured, the volunteers will be able to show the face of The American Legion when they load the food into cars for those needing assistance.

Monetary donations may be sent to Department Headquarters, 1314 SW Topeka Blvd, Topeka KS  66612. Please make checks payable to: Kansas Department American Legion. In the memo area please put either Turkey Run.  Thank you for all that you do, past present and future for our Veterans and their families.
