Free Turkey Giveaway November 13th

State Senator Doris Turner is partnering with Meridian to host a free turkey giveaway in Springfield ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The giveaway will take place Friday, November 13, from 10 a.m. to noon at Greater All Nation Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, located at 1000 S. 19th St. in Springfield.

“Events like these truly showcase the spirit of the holiday season,” Turner said. “This is a great opportunity for us to give back to our communities and ensure everyone can have a warm meal, especially for those who need it most.”

The event is intended to help local families prepare for Thanksgiving by providing a free turkey for their holiday meal. Turkeys will be distributed while supplies last, with a limit of one turkey per household. Participants must present identification to verify separate households when multiple households are represented in the same vehicle.

For more information, residents can contact Turner’s office at 217-670-1828.
