AEYL partners with The McKinney First Baptist Church to host the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive in support of the local community. The organization's leadership team, church members and volunteers gather early and organize the distribution, greeting recipients, handing out turkeys (one per family), and helping load into vehicles. There’s an atmosphere of gratitude, community, and service throughout, as the church seeks to bless neighbors and ensure no one goes without a proper Thanksgiving meal.

The dealine to pre-register is November 12, 2025.
