Turkey giveaways are happening in many parts of the city in the lead-up to Thanksgiving.

City Councilmember Crystal Hudson held her third annual turkey giveaway in Prospect Heights over the weekend. 

She was joined by dozens of volunteers at Saint Francis de Sales School for the Deaf on Eastern Parkway.

They handed out a whopping 1,000 turkeys – plus all the fixings – to families in need. 

In addition to the food, people were also able to connect to various resources for help with housing and health care. 

Spectrum News was among the companies who were on hand to help several community groups at the event.

Spectrum is the parent company of Spectrum News and NY1.
