e-Traveler Promotion

Turnpike's e-Traveler service cooks up aid to homeless shelters this Thanksgiving

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority will give away a turkey and other food items to 26 Massachusetts homeless shelters each day between now and Thanksgiving Day in a special promotion for the Pike's e-Traveler service. The Turnpike will also give away a turkey and food items daily from Nov. 1 to Thanksgiving to a patron whose name has been randomly drawn from those who register for e-Traveler. The e-Traveler Service provides traffic updates to subscribers via email, allowing them to easily get the latest information on road closures, detours, alternate routes and construction updates on the Turnpike. Gerard Farms on Water Street in Framingham has generously agreed to supply the turkeys to assist the Turnpike Authority in this promotion. Other businesses contributing food items to both the homeless shelters and to individual e-Traveler winners are Coca Cola Enterprises of Needham, Cape Cod Potato Chips of Hyannis and Table Talk Pies of Worcester. The homeless shelters that will receive turkeys and food items include: East Boston: Crossroads Family Shelter on Havre Street. Boston: Woods Mullen Shelter; Boston Family Shelter on Massachusetts Avenue; Pine Street Inn on Harrison Avenue; Rosie's Place on Harrison Avenue; St. Francis House Day Center on Boylston Street. Framingham: Sage House on Clinton Street ; Turning Point on Merchant Road; Pathways Family Shelter on Edgell Road; Common Ground Overflow Shelter, on Irving street. Milford: Blackstone Task Force Homeless (Winterhaven) Shelter on Bow Street. Marlboro: Marlboro Shelter on Mechanic Street. Worcester: Friendly House on Elm Street; Jeremiah's Inn on Main Street; Mustard Seed on Piedmont Street; Shepard's Place on Paine Street; People in Peril on Main Street; Youville House on Granite Street; Central Massachusetts Shelter for Homeless Veterans on Grove Street. Springfield: Horizon House on Alden Street; Prospect House on Prospect Street; Jefferson Avenue Shelter on Jefferson Avenue; Springfield Rescue Mission on Bliss Street.
