The Flowers Whiting Initiative 7th Annual Turkey Giveaway

7th Annual Flowers Whiting Initiative Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway

The Flowers Whiting Initiative is proud to announce its 7th Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, at the Bon Secours Community Resource Center, 31 S. Payson Street, Baltimore, MD 21223. The line for turkey distribution will begin forming at 1:00 PM.


As the holiday season approaches, The Flowers Whiting Initiative, alongside our dedicated community partners, remains committed to supporting Baltimore City families experiencing food insecurity, particularly justice-impacted individuals and families residing in underserved communities and designated food deserts.

Building on six years of community service, we aim to distribute 200–350 turkeys and provide hot meals to help families celebrate Thanksgiving with dignity, joy, and a sense of community.


To make this year's event successful, we aim to raise $6,000 by November 16, 2026, to cover turkeys, hot meals, and transportation, including a U-Haul rental. These contributions will directly support our efforts to ensure families have access to a nourishing holiday meal ahead of Thanksgiving Day on November 26, 2026.


Your generosity can make a meaningful difference. Whether through financial contributions, in-kind donations, or sponsorships, every contribution helps us reach more Baltimore families.


Together, we can continue our tradition of giving thanks, sharing blessings, and strengthening our community.
