Serving up hope: Local leaders and orgs give back with turkey giveaways ahead of Thanksgiving
Local politicians and charity drive partners like Council Member Justin Brannan and State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton joined the effort, distributing the frozen birds to Coney Island families in need. They were assisted by neighboring businesses, including Brooklyn Beach Shop, Luna Park, Paul’s Daughter, Tom’s Coney Island, Deno’s Wonder Wheel and Nathan’s.
“This is one of my favorite traditions in Coney Island every single year,” Scarcella-Spanton said at the event, “making sure that you have food on your table to enjoy a nice warm meal on Thanksgiving with your friends and family.”
