On Friday, Nov. 21, the Columbus Police Foundation, FOP Local 9, and the Greater Eastside Coalition, in collaboration with the Department of Neighborhoods and local area commissions, will host the annual Far Eastside Turkey Giveaway. This initiative, supporting Mayor Ginther’s Eastland for Everyone Plan, aims to provide complete holiday meals to hundreds of residents who might otherwise go without a festive meal.

The event will be a drive-through style distribution where community volunteers and leaders will distribute turkeys and non-perishable sides to families in need. The goal is to bring warmth and nourishment to dozens of families in our community this holiday season.
