Free food to be distributed on Saturday, Nov. 22
Council Member Wala Blegay (District 6) will host her annual District 6 Thanksgiving Turkey Drive Giveaway on Saturday, November 22, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at Metropolitan Baptist Church, 1200 Mercantile Lane, Suite 115B, Largo, MD 20774.
Council Member Blegay is partnering with Metropolitan Baptist Church and The Storehouse to provide hundreds of free turkeys to families across the county. The event is designed to support residents facing financial challenges and those impacted by federal furloughs and layoffs this holiday season.
“Thanksgiving is a time for community, gratitude, and support,” said Council Member Blegay. “Many of our families are still experiencing hardship, and it is important that we come together to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a warm holiday meal. I am grateful to our partners for helping to make this possible.”
The event will be conducted as a drive-thru distribution to ensure safety and efficiency for all participants. Turkeys will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one turkey per car.
Council Member Blegay encourages residents to arrive early, as supplies are expected to go quickly.
