Mission Statement:

The Turkey Feather Trading Post provides for free and ministers to the needy and homeless in the following capacities:

Community: We assist people in our community who are homeless, unemployed, underemployed, and need food, clothing, and shelter.
Disaster Victims: We assist people effected by hurricanes, storm damage, tornadoes, and fire.
Rainbow People: We have an on going ministry to the Rainbow People who frequent the Ocala National forest. We provide safe drinking water, camping equipment, tents, tarps, food, clothing, and hygiene. There are frequently 1,500 Rainbowers or more that gather each February 14th in the Ocala Forest. They begin to show up around September but some of them live there all year round.
Transients: We help people passing through the area that are seeking help.
Veterans: We offer one-on-one personal counseling with successfully married and well adjusted Viet Nam and Post Viet Nam Veterans.
Wilderness: We have an on going annual ministry to the hundreds of homeless and needy living in the Ocala National Forest. We provide food, hot meals, blankets, clothing, camping equipment, hygiene, medicine, dental assistance, shelter, toys for Joys, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Holiday meals.

The Turkey Feather Trading Post is seen here with a couple of Veterans living in the Ocala National Forest. The large plastic containers have rice in one and beans in the other. We keep all the food on the left side of the truck and all the clothing and equipment on the right side of the truck. We would like to thank our many supporters and volunteers that make the Turkey a success!
