Electric Boat’s annual turkey distribution is a way for the EB community to kick off the holiday season together and for management to personally thank employees for their hard work and contributions to our mission. A long-standing tradition at EB, we look forward to passing out turkeys as a token of appreciation that can be shared with your loved ones over the holiday season.
Turkey distribution also serves as a way for Electric Boat to continue giving back to our local communities. Each year in Connecticut, we donate all unclaimed turkeys to the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Bank, providing a meal for those in need. In Rhode Island, unclaimed turkeys are donated to several local charities and food pantries, such as Project Hand Up in West Warwick, Jonnycake Center of Westerly and the Rhode Island National Guard Family Assistance Center in Cranston. If you choose to not pick up your turkey, it will be automatically donated. If you would like to donate your turkey to a charity of your choice, please pick up your turkey and feel free to make your own arrangements. We thank you for your continued generosity.
Turkey vouchers are being distributed to employees this week. If you do not receive a voucher, please see your supervisor. To pick up your turkey, you will need to bring and hand in your official, hard-copy voucher.
See below for this year’s turkey distribution schedule, and thank you for another great year at Electric Boat!
