CLEVELAND — The Greater Cleveland Food Bank will host a drive-thru turkey distribution at the Muni Lot on Thursday as well as provide hot meals at various locations across the city for those in need during the holiday week.
Muni Lot turkey giveaway
Six truckloads of turkeys, totaling 21,000 birds, will be available for distribution.
The distribution will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursday at the Muni Lot, which is located at 1503 Marginal Road.
Pre-registration is required. Click here to register.
Everyone attending must stay in their vehicles to receive the food. The food bank also asks that those coming to the distribution clear their trunks and keep car windows closed.
Event organizers said they anticipate nearly 5,000 families to take part in the event.
Last year during the month of November, the food bank said it distributed more than 4 million pounds of food—an amount that it expects to match this year with weekly distributions.

The food bank is working with more than 1,000 partner agencies to feed residents in need during this holiday season.
