BP MARKOWITZ TO JOIN FORMER KNICKS STAR JOHN STARKS, BROOKLYN COMMUNITY GROUPS FOR ANNUAL THANKSGIVING TURKEY DISTRIBUTION

11:00 A.M.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24
BROOKLYN BOROUGH HALL PLAZA
209 JORALEMON STREET
BETWEEN COURT & ADAMS STREETS
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN

On Monday, November 24, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will kick off the holiday season—with help from former New York Knicks star John Starks—by distributing a thousand Thanksgiving turkeys and seven tons of trimmings, including apples, collard greens, baking potatoes and sweet potatoes, to representatives of nearly a hundred Brooklyn community groups at Borough Hall Plaza. Several Lions Clubs from Brooklyn and other volunteers help distribute the food that will provide Thanksgiving meals for needy Brooklynites at senior centers, soup kitchens, churches, and women’s shelters across the borough.

Generous sponsors for this year’s event include FreshDirect, Amalgamated Bank, Con Edison, the Court-Livingston-Schermerhorn Business Improvement District, Fairway Market, the Fulton Street Mall Improvement Association, Health Plus, the Korean-American Brooklyn Association, Rent-A-Center, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods Market.
