The winners will also have $200 donated to a charity of their choosing in their name by Grower’s Organic, the release said.
According to the release, every nominee will be given a turkey, as well as the winners.
The five grand prize winners are:

Grower’s Organic is also offering a canned food drive throughout November, the release said.
