For a good, gobbled cause... Did someone slip something into our Starbucks double macchiato, or is that a turkey the size of Nevada at Town Center Corte Madera? Yes, the World’s Largest Turkey has waddled its way back into Marin this month—helping to collect food and toiletries for needy folks, now through Dec. 31. It’s Turkey Lurkey’s 19th year at the Town Center, and this time it’s nesting across the way from the Counter Burgers and Baja Fresh. Donated items should be nonperishable and will be collected and distributed by the San Francisco and Marin Food Bank. The gargantuan gobbler bobs its head when something is donated—and since first coming to Corte Madera nearly two decades ago, he’s nodded to the tune of 50 tons of food and toiletries. San Francisco and Marin Food Bank director Paul Ash says his agency relies on such community donation programs as this in order to spread a little cheer during the holidays. “We are determined to provide everyone in need with all the makings for a wholesome, home-cooked holiday meal,� says Ash. Stop by to donate, Marin...and for more info, call 415/924-2961 or visit www.shoptowncenter.com.

For those about to give care, we salute you! While they probably deserve more like a year’s worth of honoring, family caregivers will at least get a month of props in Marin, as the county Board of Supervisors declared this November “Family Caregiver Month.� In a resolution adopted at their Nov. 6 meeting, the Supes recognized the “contributions that all caregivers, paid or unpaid, make in our community.� According to notes from county staff, over 6 million Californians provide informal care for a family member or friend with a long-term illness or disability—additionally, California is home to the largest direct-care workforce in the country, totaling nearly 500,000 people. The tribute to caregivers comes during November’s federal recognition of National Homecare and Hospice Month. On the local level, Marin has nearly 1,600 low-income residents—including those elderly, blind and disabled—who live independently in their homes with the assistance of In-Home Support Services, which comprises 1,300 caregivers, 70 percent of whom are family members, according to a county report.
