Elected Officials Turkey Giveaway in Coop-City

 

The residents of Coop-City came out as early as 8:30 A.M. to wait for their turn to receive a turkey from Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, State Senator Jamaal Bailey, Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, and Councilman Kevin Riley. The line went around the corner and around another corner at Einstein Loop, but there were plenty of turkeys for all those on line, and then some as over four-hundred turkeys were on hand to be given out.

Shortly after 1 P.M. the turkey giveaway began, but it was a good time to talk to the elected officials as many residents did, by speaking to one of the four elected officials. It was hard to tell if Councilman Riley, Assemblyman Benedetto, State Senator Bailey, or Borough President Gibson had the best time as they and their helpers handed out all the turkeys in record time.

Over 400 turkeys were ready to be given out to residents of Coop-City by Borough President Vanessa Gibson, State Senator Jamaal Bailey, Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, and Councilman Kevin Riley.
