1,200 local families received free turkeys and groceries to make their Thanksgiving special. Senator Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), in partnership with El Camino College, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and U.S.VETS Inglewood distributed 1200 turkeys and pork roasts, bags of groceries, and gift cards to families in need this holiday season.

Thanks to all of our volunteers and donors who helped make this giant event happen! They made a huge difference for local families!
