The Bridge Niagara Foundation, in partnership with Aero Transportation, Naz716, and several sponsors will host the 8th annual Turkey Giveaway at 4 p.m. on Thursday at Henry J. Kalfas Elementary School, 1730 Beech Ave.
This year’s event offers both walk-thru and drive-thru options to ensure convenience for all community members.
The event will see 500 turkeys and holiday dinners given away on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Considered Niagara County’s largest turkey giveaway, the Bridge Niagara Foundation is hosting the event for the third consecutive year. The community-focused event is made possible through collaboration with the Niagara Falls School District and the generous support of our community partners and sponsors.
This year’s sponsors are: National Fuel, Jewish Family Services, 4th District Legislator Jeffrey Elder, Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, KeyBank, Fidelis Care, Niagara Falls Heritage, Ibero Business Center, Giovanni Auto, Target, Granite Shop, Wegmans, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Niagara Falls Collaborative, Home Depot, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, MT Health and Wellness Coach, and Joe Cecconi.
Organizers say their support has been instrumental in making the event a success.
“We’re proud to bring warmth and holiday cheer to our neighbors,” said Anas Mangla, chairperson of Bridge Niagara Foundation. “This effort showcases what we can achieve when we come together as a community. Many families have shared how this event has brightened their holiday season. As John D. mentioned, ‘This giveaway brought a smile to my kids’ faces during a tough time.’”
The Turkey Giveaway represents hope, care, and community spirit, bringing unity to Niagara Falls. All community members are invited to participate in spreading holiday joy.
“We are thrilled to continue making a difference,” added Nasreen Akhtar, co-chair and owner of Aero Transportation. “Our partnership helps us reach more families each year, and it’s an honor to be part of this important initiative.”
