Veterans Day is here, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We're thankful for the brave men and women who fought for this country. Now, they need your help. You can help ensure our local Utica veterans will enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

Nimey's New Generation Cars is excited to announce their collaboration with the Utica Center for Development for their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive for veterans and their families in Central New York. This initiative aims to ensure that over 100 local families, who have served our nation, can enjoy a bountiful meal this Thanksgiving.

“Unfortunately, we are behind on our planned donation goals this year. The last thing we want is for a veteran and their family to go hungry this Thanksgiving, but we need more donations to make those worries disappear,” says Vince Scalise, Founder/ Executive Director, Central New York Veteran’s Outreach Center. We are calling on individuals, local businesses, and community members to join hands with us in making this Thanksgiving truly special.

“No family should go hungry on Thanksgiving, especially if they’re a veteran,” says Matt Nimey, owner of Nimey’s New Generation Cars. “Our mission has always been to serve our community, and this initiative is a great opportunity for us to give back and show our appreciation to the brave men and women who have served our nation."

We are looking for the following foods this year…

Turkey   

Stuffing 

Potatoes  

Squash

Canned Cranberries 

Canned Beans

Canned Vegetables 

Cornbread

The Veteran’s Outreach Center serves over 150 veterans and their families for Thanksgiving.
