The holiday season just wouldn’t feel the same without this tradition. Stew Leonard’s is once again kicking off its 45th Annual Turkey Brigade, and this year we’re proud to partner with the Danbury location to help make a difference right here in our community.

Every November, the amazing crew at Stew Leonard’s donates thousands of turkeys to local charities, food programs, and families in need. With your help, we’ve been part of this heartwarming effort for the past few years — and we’re doing it again in 2025.

Here’s where you come in: we’re looking for your nominations!
If there’s a local organization, shelter, church, or community group that you believe deserves a turkey donation this Thanksgiving, just fill out the form below. Tell us a bit about the group and why you think they should be chosen.

The Danbury team at Stew Leonard’s will be distributing hundreds of turkeys to local groups and programs that serve seniors, families, and individuals who could use a helping hand this season.

The goal is simple — to make sure everyone can enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal surrounded by those they love.

Entries are open now! Submit your nomination below, and if your charity is selected, we’ll be in touch.

Winners will be chosen on Monday, November 3rd.
