Operation Turkey Trot is a joint effort spearheaded by Andrew Rogers, general manager of the Ritz-Carlton Denver, and Jay Weinstein, chief operating officer of St. Anthony Central Hospital, and their employees to collect and donate turkeys to the Denver Rescue Mission. The project resulted in 640 birds.
Other Trotters on the team were Ortho Colorado Hospital, St. Anthony Health Foundation, Sodexo, Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, GE Johnson and Hammes Co.
Homebuilder D.R. Horton Colorado will redeem coupons from an ad that ran in The Post that people dropped off. The builder will use them to purchase 600 turkeys the day after Thanksgiving and will deliver them to the Rescue Mission, which earlier this month put out the plea when supplies were severely short.
