Two Rotary clubs are going head to head this Thanksgiving season, and Warren County families win either way. The Rotary Club Turkey Drive Challenge pits the Phillipsburg Rotary against the Hackettstown Rotary on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., with every donation going to the Norwescap Food Bank.
The idea is simple: two Rotary clubs, one friendly challenge. Drop off your donations at either location and help your side of the county come out on top, all while helping neighbors put a meal on the table for the holidays.

Phillipsburg Rotary drop off
- Town: Phillipsburg
- Where: Raymour & Flanigan, 1314 US Hwy. 22, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865
- When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Hackettstown Rotary drop off
- Town: Hackettstown
- Where: Panera Bread, 2045 NJ-57, Hackettstown, NJ 07840
- When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
What they are collecting
Both Rotary clubs are collecting the same items, so you can bring what you have to whichever location is closer:
- Turkeys
- Canned food
- Nonperishable items
- Donations by cash, check or credit card
The timing lands the Saturday before Thanksgiving, which makes it an easy stop on a weekend errand run. Grab a turkey or a bag of canned goods while you are out, swing by Raymour & Flanigan on Route 22 or Panera Bread on Route 57, and drop it off before noon.
Listen live on WRNJ
The challenge will be broadcast live on WRNJ 92.7, 104.7 and 1510 AM, so you can tune in during the morning and hear how each club is doing. If you cannot make it in person, a cash, check or credit card donation still counts toward the challenge.
Where your donation goes
Everything collected supports the Norwescap Food Bank, which helps families across northwest New Jersey. A single turkey or a few cans can go a long way at this time of year, and a little friendly competition between Phillipsburg and Hackettstown is a fun way to make the total even bigger.
