The Department of Social Services would like to share the latest update and clarification on this year’s Thanksgiving Turkey Delivery and Distribution.

🚗 Turkey Delivery

• Monday, November 17: Camp Verde, Rimrock, and Middle Verde

• Tuesday, November 18: Clarkdale and Kwail Heights

• Wednesday, November 19: Tunlii

Deliveries will begin each day at 8:00 a.m.
Each eligible household will receive one turkey and a Bashas’ gift card.

🦃 Turkey Distribution (Pick-Up Event)

For members who live outside the Nation’s boundaries, Social Services will host a Turkey Distribution on Friday, November 21, 2025, at the Administration Building parking lot in Middle Verde.

This event will be first-come, first-served, one turkey per household, while supplies last.

Social Services extends appreciation to all community members for their understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure that every Yavapai-Apache Nation Tribal household has the opportunity to receive a Thanksgiving turkey this season.
