Continuing her support for her District 79, Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber and her many volunteers turned up last Saturday at the Jackie Robinson YMCA with community commitment on their agenda.
“We have 1,000 turkeys to give away and also pantry goods, fruits, bags of onions, and potatoes for people that need some assistance this Thanksgiving,” Dr. Akilah Weber shared.
The event also included a very important health and wellness area for essential health information for the public on vaccines, flu shots, and much more.
Volunteers, including a large contingent of sorority members, lent their time and skills to help make a nice experience for Saturday’s big turkey day giveaway and health fair.
“It was a long line, but it was worth the wait. I really appreciate what they did today for all the people, it was very nice of them. Me and my family will definitely have a good Thanksgiving,” participant Isiah Sherman shared.
