Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera will visiting senior centers all next week to distribute over 125 turkeys to seniors and their families! 

Throughout next week Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera will host her 5th annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive. Beginning Monday November 21st Assemblywoman Rivera will be stopping by senior centers in the 80th assembly district, hitting more than seven locations by Wednesday the 23rd.  For a full list of senior centers and a schedule please contact the district office.

The annual turkey drive is one of the most popular events held by the assemblywoman, and attendance has been up each consecutive year. According to Assemblywoman Rivera, “Thanksgiving is a time to be with family and to reflect on how much we all can be thankful for. We’re facing one of the toughest economies in recent history, so this year I’m especially pleased to be able to give so many families a leg up on the festivities!”

Unfortunately there are always more attendees than there are turkeys. This year recipients are chosen by raffle, but it is estimated that roughly a quarter to a third of attendees will walk away with a turkey.
