The Enterprise Center CDC will host a Turkey and Coat Drive to support 300 West Philadelphia families in need on Friday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Malcolm X Park, 5100 Pine Street.
Each family will receive a complete Thanksgiving meal kit including a turkey, corn, gravy, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce, butter, and cornbread mix. Residents will also have the option of receiving a coat and other winter attire including a sweatshirt, hat, socks and gloves.
Countless families across Philadelphia are feeling the pressure and having trouble affording everyday groceries, let alone Thanksgiving dinner, organizers said. The goal of the Turkey and Coat drive is to provide relief to families in need.
The outreach efforts are being spearheaded by Enterprise Center CDC, which partners with local businesses and residents to drive revitalization along the 52nd Street commercial corridor—long recognized as “West Philly’s Main Street.”
