Delivering free Thanksgiving meals to people on South Whidbey Island, plus Coupeville.

The goal of the Mobile Turkey Unit is to provide a free, home-delivered Thanksgiving meal for people on South Whidbey Island, plus Coupeville, who would otherwise not have one. This includes the elderly, shut-ins, low-income and unemployed people, plus public servant employees working on Thanksgiving day. The event takes place at St. Hubert Roman Catholic Church, Langley United Methodist Church and South Whidbey School District in Langley.

The Mobile Turkey Unit of Whidbey Island is a nonprofit community service organized and provided by volunteers, which has taken place each Thanksgiving since 1999. It was founded by Tom Arhontas, who had a special place in his heart for people in need.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!

2026 represents our 28th year of serving south and central Whidbey Island with free Thanksgiving meals.  We are overwhelmed this year with the response of our community in signing up to volunteer!!  There are only a couple of spots left and we have never been this prepared so early. (10/28)  Thank you so much to all of the amazing folks who are showing up to make this happen!!
