Free Thanksgiving turkeys and food distributions

ByPatti Roth

Thanksgiving is about food and kindness. In South Florida, various organizations are exemplifying those features with opportunities for food for a holiday feast.  Some events are open to the public, others may feature eligibility requirements, such as being a resident of the town where the distribution is offered.

At these events, food distributions usually are handed out while supplies last.
