Free turkeys Sunday, Nov. 22, across from Brockton City Hall

BROCKTON, Mass. Families can pick up a free turkey in Brockton the Sunday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 22, when the 7th Annual Brockton Turkey Giveaway sets up at noon in the Lincoln Street parking lot across from Brockton City Hall.

Bridges of Care is holding the giveaway, the city said in a news post Thursday, Nov. 12, asking people to arrive early to secure a place in line, and each family may take one bag.

City Hall is at 45 School St. The city's events calendar lists the giveaway from noon to 1 p.m., while the city's news post and the event flyer both say it runs until the turkeys are gone.

A $1 raffle runs alongside the giveaway, and the flyer says its proceeds go toward feeding a family in Brockton, with the winner announced at the end.

In its post, the city thanked Block Security, The Spot Bar and Lounge, Starlines Hair Salon and Green Gold Spices for their efforts to make sure Brockton families have a happy Thanksgiving. The four businesses' logos appear on the flyer, along with the social media handle @ProtectedByBlock.

Two years ago, the city's calendar set the 5th Annual Brockton Turkey Giveaway for Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, from noon to 4 p.m. in the parking lot across from City Hall, with a call for cash or turkey donations to raise 500 turkeys for the community.
