A campus group will deliver breasts, thighs and legs to area homes this week.

The Ohio State Poultry Science Club recently conducted its 52nd annual turkey sale.

The turkey sale is the club’s biggest fund-raiser of the year, but is also a way to give something back to the community.

Advertisements were placed around campus, and e-mails were sent out to various departments of the university in late October to give people the opportunity to buy turkeys up to 30 pounds.

All of the turkeys are bought from an OSU graduate who raises them on his farm.

The turkeys will be delivered tomorrow and Wednesday. Some people order turkeys and allow them to be donated to various charities.

“Turkeys ordered specifically for a donation are usually given to a soup kitchen,” said Danyelle Dauch, club president. “We try to find someone around the area who will take fresh items, so it’s just a matter of calling around.”

Club adviser David Latshaw said other clubs have been contacting him about donations.

“Some of the organizations that give away food have called and ask us to donate a turkey,” Latshaw said. “We like to do things like that.”

“I think it’s a good idea for an organization on campus to do something like this,” said Ross Murphy, a senior in business. “Some people might have to stay on campus for Thanksgiving, and this could be a way for them to have something good for dinner.”

In addition to this year’s turkey sale, the Poultry Science Club will also be conducting a canned food drive.

All student organizations on campus are invited to compete in the food drive, and the winning organization will receive a free turkey and a $50 gift certificate to Kroger.

“We decided to do this as a way for the clubs around college to get involved and give something to the community,” Dauch said. “We figured that if we give away a $50 gift certificate that a club could put that toward a Christmas party or something like that. We also encourage house-fulls of students to come and bring food.”

Any organization on campus wishing to participate in the food drive can drop off canned goods to be weighed tomorrow from 12-7 p.m. in room 117 in the Animal Sciences Building.
