Thanksgiving is fast
approaching, which means,

churches, and organizations

eat, during this time of food
insecurity.

food hampers, and cooked
meals to meet the needs of
households this holiday season.

Precinct in partnership with

and food giveaway on Thursday,
Nov. 18, from noon to 2 pm.
Residents are expected
to gather in front of the 71st
Precinct location, 421 Empire
Blvd., Brooklyn location, for the
meals, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

masks, and hand sanitizers,
during the two-hour charitable
event.
