Turkeys for Veterans

When Chellee Rice heard about the Two Roads Project, which originated in Billings, she immediately wanted to get some of her Sacajawea Middle School students in Bozeman involved. “I’ve watched these kids really find an investment in what they are doing and find passion and find a Purpose,” She said (Bozeman Chronicle, December 22, 2013).

Projects have included Darien’s who transformed his $100 into 17 turkeys and $1700, which he gave to veterans and their families for Christmas. “I thought veterans would be fun to help,” he said.

Using his creativity, Darian bought iTunes or Wal-Mart gift cards to use in a raffle at school. For a donation of $10.00, classmates had a chance to win a gift card. Darian was able to buy three turkeys and replace his original $100 with an identical amount.

From that point, he kept multiplying his funds and eventually gave each of 10 veterans and their families turkeys and $150 Wal-Mart gift cards. Quite a a successful undertaking by this service minded young man by any standard.
