Organizations across Central Alabama are distributing free turkeys and holiday fixings for Thanksgiving.
Food pantries, churches and nonprofit groups are holding community events to distribute food in the coming weeks. The assistance is a critical supplement for many, including families who have lost SNAP benefits and furloughed workers facing a holiday with reduced income.
WVTM 13 compiled a list of local food giveaways.
