Join: #TurkeyTweetup Thursday for The Salvation Army
Which St. Louis business can "Do the Most Good" for The Salvation Army? Stop by the Moonrise Hotel next Thursday to find out.
As Turkey Day approaches, St. Louis offices will compete against each other to see which office can bring in the most canned and boxed goods for The Salvation Army - St. Louis.
(For instant news updates follow Patch on Facebook and Twitter.)
The occasion? The annual Turkey Tweetup Office Challenge, to benefit Salvation Army food pantries. From 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15 at the Moonrise Hotel, offices from across the St. Louis area will gather to drop off their donations, network with other St. Louis professionals and enjoy a free turkey lunch – all while tweeting about it.

Attendees will use the hashtag #TurkeyTweetup to chat turkey, thanks and volunteer opportunities during the event … and drum up some friendly competition, pre-event. One office has already gotten an artistic start to their collection pile.
The winning office will earn the Red Kettle Trophy, a profile on the Salvation Army website and newsletter, and of course, undeniable bragging rights.
