Philadelphia Organizations Gear Up for Thanksgiving Giveaways with Turkeys, Coats, and More for Those in Need

As Thanksgiving approaches, local organizations in Philadelphia are stepping up to help those in need. There will be several giveaways this November, including turkeys, coats, and other resources, to spread holiday cheer.

Among the aforementioned holiday spirit-lifting events, the Philadelphia Parks & Recreation sites are a cornerstone. Despite the looming threat of winter’s caprice which could result in sudden cancellations or postponements, the promise of these giveaways, as chronicled by

Philadelphia’s official website

, remains steadfast. Weather permitting, attendees are encouraged to check the links provided for updates on date, time, and location specifics.

The Friendsgiving Coat Giveaway and Resource Event, set to take place on November 16 at the Gambrel Recreation Center, is one such event. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., FKD invites the community to partake in a free coat distribution for kids, with the stipulation that the children in need be present. Additionally, resource availability is subject to supply.

A week later, on November 23 the Belfield Recreation Center will host a turkey giveaway from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., specifically targeting residents of its surrounding community. Providing a turkey for the Thanksgiving table, this event will operate on a first-come, first-served basis and requires participants to show identification. To ease the participation process, residents could learn more and register via an online link mentioned.

Following close on November 25 is the Basket & Winter Coat Giveaway at McIlvain Playground. Organized by District 6, the turkey and coat distribution event lending some warmth on a presumably late autumn afternoon, begs the community’s participation, with the caveat of items being provided as long as they last, beginning at 4 p.m.

Mi Salud Wellness Center joins the cadre of goodwill with its special meal giveaway on November 21. From 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., constituents can expect to receive a turkey, turkey salami, and additional food items.

The altruistic acts continue with the Tyrese Maxey Foundation’s Annual Holiday Turkey Giveaway at George Washington Carver High School of Engineering and Science on November 23. Ron Jaworski’s Foundation will provide Thanksgiving dinners on November 26 at Vare Recreation Center. Due to high demand, registration is required by November 22.
