Free Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaways Are Listed for Boyle Heights in Los Angeles: Events Run From November 14, With the Fernando and Linda Valenzuela Foundation Giving Food Boxes and Frozen Turkeys to More Than 500 People on November 15
The LA Local, an Eastside Los Angeles outlet, has rounded up this year free Thanksgiving turkey giveaways in and around Boyle Heights, with events running in the neighborhood from November 14.
Among them, the Fernando and Linda Valenzuela Foundation will hold its third annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway on November 15 in honor of the late Dodger Fernando Valenzuela, expecting to give food boxes and a frozen turkey to more than 500 people at 1781 East 1st Street.
On November 14, the Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory will also give away turkeys. Pre registration is required, though registering does not guarantee a turkey, as distribution is first come, first served, at 2700 East Cesar E. Chavez Avenue.
On November 21, the Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA and Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez will host the 12th annual community turkey drive at Mariachi Plaza, and local food service supplier Xclusive Grills will give away more than 400 turkeys in East Los Angeles the same day.
The roundup also lists a November 23 distribution by My Gathering Place International with the Los Angeles Police Department Hollenbeck Division, giving Eastside residents several dates to choose from.
