Austin Hermsen says someone put his phone number on a fake ad, promising turkeys to 30 families in Cedar Rapids.
Hermsen says it broke his heart to hear how many people needed a turkey.
So, he and his friends raised more than $1,400 to buy entire Thanksgiving meals for 80 families.
They now plan on making this a yearly tradition.
