Each year, local organizations and community groups sponsor Christmas turkey and food giveaways, to make sure families facing food insecurity or financial hardship can gather together for a traditional meal. We’re collecting as many of these turkey giveaways and food distribution events as we can find, and listing them here.
If you know of someone who might benefit from this information, please share it with them!
And if your group is hosting a food giveaway that you’d like to list here, please email us at Laura@MileHighOnTheCheap.com with all the details.
