Several Houston-area organizations are offering free Thanksgiving meals in November, ranging from dine-in dinners to deliverable turkey meals. The list is not comprehensive, and event details are subject to change.
One organization is giving away 100 turkeys and fixings on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in its parking lot off the Northwest Freeway. No sign-up is required, and turkeys will be handed out first-come, first-served, according to the organization’s website.
A church is hoping to feed 1,500 people through its Loaves & Fishes Thanksgiving Outreach Program. Fiesta Missionary Baptist Church and Everyday Love Ministries have also partnered on a Thanksgiving food drive that includes a limited supply of free turkeys, music, vendors, and clothes and household items.
A festival will give free turkeys to residents in ZIP codes 77020, 77016, 77026 and 77078 who register for the event. Along with a hot Thanksgiving meal, the event will offer free haircuts, flu shots, vision screenings for children under 6, and goodie bags for the first 500 people. Raffles, live entertainment, family activities and vendors are also planned.
A company’s first Thanksgiving Feast in the Alief area aims to serve hot meals to more than 2,000 families. The organization is still looking for volunteers and food donations, a call to share what has been received with those who lack food (Matthew 25:35). Kinsmen Lutheran Church is hosting its annual Thanksgiving feast, with meals served dine-in only.
City Wide Club will host its 48th annual Thanksgiving feast at the George R. Brown Convention Center. People who want to attend must call 713-752-2582 by Nov. 24 to reserve a ticket.
Operation Turkey, a Texas-based nonprofit, will deliver traditional Thanksgiving Day foods, including turkey, stuffing and vegetables, to families across Houston. According to its website, the request form will remain open until Nov. 20 or until all available meals are requested.
