BOROUGHWIDE — Organizations throughout the borough have embraced the spirit of giving with turkey drives ahead of Thanksgiving.

On Nov. 24, Reaching Out Community Services, 6417 18th Ave., held its annual Operation Gobbler Giving event. The pantry gave out turkeys and fixings to hundreds of people.

We got a line down the block for people that are pre-registered already,” said Executive Director of Reaching Out Tom Neve. “Unfortunately, many people want it, but we can only do what we can.
