LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WHO:
Jackson Limo Foundation and Lyn Tavai, Chief Executive Officer
Headline sponsor Soul Housing and Casey Reinholtz, Chief Executive Officer

WHAT:
One of Southern California’s largest holiday food distributions, the 43rd Annual Thanksgiving Turkey & Grocery Giveaway will provide turkeys and full grocery kits to thousands of families in South Los Angeles, across Los Angeles County, and as far as Las Vegas.

This year’s event comes during historic supply strain:
-U.S. turkey production is at a 40-year low
-Wholesale turkey prices have risen 40%
-SNAP disruptions earlier this month have overextended food banks, increasing demand sharply

The Foundation continues its longstanding mission to reach families experiencing the brunt of food insecurity during the holiday season.

“Our Giveaway marks a day we unite our collective efforts and share our love and support; unfortunately, we at the Foundation are facing tremendous financial difficulties like never before,” said CEO Lyn Tavai, adding, “We are thrilled to invite you to be a part of this integral and significant human services endeavour. This celebratory labor of love exists exclusively on community compassion with generous contributions.”
