With Thanksgiving around the corner, 400 families who may need a little help with the groceries this year are still able to celebrate traditionally thanks to the turkey giveaway in Warsaw next Wednesday, November 8.
The Turkeys On the Table drive-thru event will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds, 1400 E Smith St., Warsaw. This turkey giveaway is sponsored by Pleasant Grove United Methodist men's group, in cooperation with the Food Bank of Northern Indiana.
Among the men volunteering for Wednesday's event is David McCleary, former Indiana hunger relief representative for the Indiana Society of Saint Andrew, who worked with local hunger relief for 14 years before retiring in 2014. McCleary says the give away is a small part to the big picture of food insecurity in the area.
McCleary said the rule is one turkey per family, and that they are known to have lines early despite not starting until 10 a.m. He suggests that those who are looking to get a turkey at the event not wait until the last minute to go.
