Murphy’s Bar & Grill hosts its 11th annual Turkey Tailgate today (Nov. 16) to commemorate its 35th anniversary. The in-person turkey drive and online fundraising event will benefit Hawaii Foodbank.
The community can drop off turkey donations at Murphy’s Bar & Grill from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the corner of Merchant Street and Nuuanu Avenue. Those unable to make it to the event can still offer their support by making an online donation now through Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24). A $10 donation can provide food for more than 20 individual meals, and a $25 donation can sponsor a family’s holiday dinner.
