Trenton to Host Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway

The City of Trenton, New Jersey is hosting its annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway on Monday, Nov. 24, starting at noon, with a rain date of Tuesday, Nov. 25, if needed.

Turkeys will be distributed at three locations: Unity Square Park at the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, West Ward Rec Center at 351 Prospect St., and George Page Park at North Clinton Avenue and Lawrence Street.
