Witherite Law Group, 1-800-TruckWreck and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church have joined together to give out 1,000 free turkeys and food boxes Wednesday morning.

The event began at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church’s Stonecrest campus at 6 a.m. Wednesday. The 20-pound Thanksgiving meal boxes includes turkeys, fresh fruits, vegetables, shelf-stable food items and other essential items for families financially impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic was marked not only a global health crisis but also a financial one that has increased food insecurities across the nation and around the world,” said New Birth Senior Pastor Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant. “We are thrilled to partner with Witherite Law Group and V-103 to give 1,000 families something to truly be thankful for this holiday season.”

The Thanksgiving meal giveaway is open to the public. Registration is not required. Thanksgiving turkeys and meal boxes will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
