An annual tradition returns Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025, as State Rep. Jay Hoffman (D-Swansea) and state Sen. Christopher Belt (D-Swansea) give out free turkeys, canned goods and other items to families to help them enjoy a full Thanksgiving dinner.

“This year we’re not just giving away turkeys; we’re providing a full Thanksgiving meal thanks to the generosity of residents who have donated goods,” Hoffman said. “This month has been an even more difficult time for those in need of food assistance, which is why I’m grateful for our community members who have stepped up once again to help their neighbors.”

Hoffman and Belt’s Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway will take place from 10 a.m. until supplies run out on Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Downtown Belleville YMCA, located at 200 S. Illinois St. in Belleville.

Thanks to a generous donation from Meridian, Hoffman and Belt expect to offer 200 turkeys to families this year.

In addition to the main meal, families will receive cans or boxes of green beans, stuffing, gravy, cornbread and cranberry sauce.

The event will be held outside, and attendees will line up in the back parking lot along High St. Due to traffic congestion, the public is asked not to arrive before the start of the event.
