As Thanksgiving draws closer,
a Queens assemblyman wants borough
residents to have a warm turkey
at the center of their tables this
year.
On Friday, Assemblyman Ron
Kim announced the return of his
annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway
for Flushing residents. Kim
will once again partner with the
New York East Chapter of the Asian
Real Estate Association of America
(AREAA NY East Chapter) and
Flushing Town Hall to distribute
a total of 275 turkeys on Tuesday,
Nov. 26.
The giveaway is open to residents
in Assembly District 40 who live in
Flushing and surrounding areas. In
addition to Flushing, Kim’s district
includes Murray Hill, College Point
and Whitestone.
Those interested in participating
can pick up a voucher ticket at Kim’s
office at 136-20 38th Ave. Families
may also reserve a turkey by calling
the assemblyman’s office at 718-
939-0195 and leaving their name and
contact information from Monday to
Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Once residents have reserved a
spot, they must then pick up a voucher
at Kim’s office on any weekday before
Nov. 26 during regular business
hours.
Individuals and families can
present their vouchers at Garden of
Flushing Town Hall at 137-35 Northern
Blvd. on Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. The
giveaway is limited to one turkey
per family.
“I offer my sincere thanks to the
AREAA NY East Chapter and Flushing
Town Hall for working with my
office to host the 2019 Turkey Giveaway
in Flushing,” Kim said.
“Thanksgiving represents a
time when we join together in mutual
celebration and gratitude for
all that we have. However, we know
that for far too many families even
a Thanksgiving turkey can become
difficult to obtain. We encourage all
Flushing residents and other local
members of our community to come
to my office and pick up your turkey
voucher.”
