Homer’s 5th Annual Turkey Drive

The Charlotte Knights and their mascot, Homer The Dragon, spent Friday, November 16th delivering 150 turkeys around the Charlotte area to non-profits. The event — Homer’s 5th Annual Turkey Drive — took place just in time to help out those in need before Thanksgiving.

In all, the annual Turkey Drive stopped at seven area locations and distributed turkeys, stuffing, gravy, pans, and more. The team also stopped at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille at 12:00 p.m. to help with the Charlotte Coat Drive presented by Charlotte Mechanical to benefit The Salvation Army.
