"We love the Hurricanes and we love their commitment to the community," said Raleigh Rescue Mission CEO & President John Luckett. "So the turkeys are an extra boost! And certainly, between now and Christmas, we're going to have a lot more people giving things. So we're just excited!"
Cole and company stopped by the Raleigh Rescue Mission first and later followed with a visit to Helping Hand.
A representative for the team told ABC11 that active players on the roster were unable to participate due to a game this evening against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
