It was billed as a Holiday Turkey Giveaway by State Senator Biaggi at the Community Board Ten office on East Tremont Avenue. People began to arrive and line up one hour before the scheduled time. They were greeted by boxes and boxes of fresh vegetables and fruits being put into shopping bags by members of the Hunts Point Produce Market, and members of Community Board 10. These bags of produce were then handed out to the people waiting on line.
Senator Biaggi arrived soon afterwards to give out face masks and information to the people waiting on line. While the turkeys arrived late, they were put into bags by the board members and others to be given out. When the turkeys ran out Senator Biaggi gave out some coupons for free turkeys to local Community Board Ten supermarkets.
