The holiday spirit was palpable this morning as residents lined up as early as 7 a.m. for the 12th annual turkey giveaway hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. The event, set to begin at 9 a.m., attracts community members eager to secure their Thanksgiving turkeys ahead of the holiday.
With temperatures still on the cooler side, the crowd buzzed with excitement as families gathered in anticipation of receiving their free turkeys. Volunteers from the fraternity and community organizations worked tirelessly to prepare for the influx of participants.
This year’s event marks a continuation of the fraternity’s longstanding commitment to serving the community. “We know how important it is for families to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal, especially during challenging times,” said a fraternity spokesperson. “This giveaway is our way of showing we care and giving back to those in need.”
As the clock struck nine, the line began to move, and smiles were seen all around as volunteers handed out the turkeys, along with bags of essential groceries. Many families expressed gratitude for the generosity of the fraternity and the impact the giveaway has on their holiday celebrations.
