The Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano received about $35,000 in net proceeds from the MCC Turkey Shoot golf tournament, held Oct. 28 at Moraga Country Club. Nearly 100 members participated in the scramble tournament which included a pre-round breakfast and concluded with lunch and awards. The top five teams, as well as closest to the hole and accurate drive contests, were presented with 25 certificates for turkeys. The event chairman, Paul Boero, thanked the many participants who contributed as underwriters and hole sponsors as well as in-kind donors who contributed tee prizes, bottles of wine for on course prizes, and gift certificates for turkeys to competition winners.
All contributed to the success of the event's goal, having a fun-filled day of golf while simultaneously contributing to The Food Bank. Following lunch, Joel Sjostrom, president of the Food Bank, presented information about its increase in demand since the onset of the pandemic and the great number of persons needing food in Contra Costa and Solano counties. Joel also cited a new emphasis in servicing victims of wildfires and providing ready-to-eat meals for the many families displaced due to the firestorms. This year's event marked the 9th Annual Turkey Shoot and the proceeds generated are able to feed over 700 families for one week. With this year's contribution and sums raised in prior years, the total Turkey Shoot contribution exceeds $310,000.
