GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Neighbors across West Michigan will be flocking to Grand Rapids this Thanksgiving for the annual Turkey Trot, and this year's race is introducing a new opportunity to give back.
Volunteers will be collecting non-perishable food donations on race day outside Van Andel Arena at a trailer marked by a giant inflatable turkey. Organizers say all donated items will go directly to families in need.
