Jon Voight buys Thanksgiving turkeys for stranger in line at Wal-Mart

“The Home of the Innocents” is a non-profit organization in Louisville, Kentucky which “has been in operation for 135 years, served over 7,000 children and their families last year. The Home provides services to assist those who are facing severe crisis.”  That includes “residential and community-based services to children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected.”

Apparently, their employee went to WalMart to get this year’s turkey and ran into Jon Voight.

Yahoo News reports:

“I was helping the lady scan the turkeys and the man behind me said, ‘You must have a big family. That’s an awful lot of turkeys,'” Gholston told ABC News about the encounter. “I said, ‘I work at the Home of the Innocents.'”

She said the man seemed very interested in knowing more about the home.

“I looked up and said, ‘You look a lot like Angelina Jolie‘s dad’ and he said, ‘Why would I look like that?'” Gholston said.

“He joked around with me at first.”

He then went on to buy all six turkeys!

Here’s what the organization posted on Facebook, beneath the photo snapped at Wal-Mart:

Our employee Sydney Gholston went to purchase Thanksgiving turkeys for our kids today. What a treat when she ran into Jon Voight who is in town filming a movie and he asked what the turkeys were for. Jon generously paid for the turkeys to feed our kids next week! We are so thankful for his generosity! — with Rukhsar Siddiqui and Lesa Wilder.
