How You can Get a Free Thanksgiving Turkey

What would Thanksgiving be without a turkey? Imagine not being able to get a turkey before Thanksgiving due to lack of funds? There are many programs that give away turkeys every year for FREE. Yes, you read right, they give away turkeys for FREE for those in need. It's not hard to obtain a FREE turkey; it just takes patience and research. Below is a list of places you should search first in order to qualify for a FREE turkey.

Community Outreach Programs: Most of the time community outreach programs offer free Thanksgiving meals on Thanksgiving and even free turkeys. Outreach programs usually dedicate themselves to supplying low income families with Holiday boxes around Thanksgiving and Christmas. As a child, my family used to participate in these programs all the time in order to obtain food boxes and even toy boxes for the holidays. I've had first hand experience with getting free turkeys, hams and even chicken from these places. The holiday boxes usually come with can foods, dairy products and meats. You usually have to fill out an application in order to receive these free things. Before you go, know that it's usually low income households that get seniority. If you fit the description of having a low income, more or likely you won't be turned away.

Sport Teams: That's right; a lot of sport teams in your city/state will be handing out free turkeys this Thanksgiving. It seems to be a trend as of now since it's been going on for years. No matter what state you live in, look at your local ads and you might come across a time and date for when free turkeys are being handed out. It's great to see how some sport players give back to the community by supplying thousands, yes thousands of free turkeys to those in the community. Most of the time you don't have to fill out any paper work to get the turkey, just show up!
