State Senator Dr. Aisha Wahab (D–Silicon Valley) will host her Annual Free Turkey Giveaway at the DSAL Community Kitchen in San Leandro. This drive-through event, organized in partnership with the Alameda County Deputy Sheriffs’ Activities League (DSAL), aims to provide free turkeys to families facing financial hardship during the holidays.
Dr. Wahab’s annual event is part of her ongoing effort to tackle food insecurity and affordability challenges across Alameda County to give back and ensure individuals and families have access to food during the holiday season. Last year, Dr. Wahab was able to give out roughly 1,000 turkeys to those in need. Each year the effort grows.
“People are struggling to keep up with the cost of groceries, gas and rent,” said Senator Wahab. “That’s why my team and I work year-round to deliver real relief through policy and budget efforts focused on housing affordability, wage fairness and food security. Our annual Turkey Giveaway isn’t just a holiday tradition. It’s a reminder that in California, and especially in my district, we take care of each other.”
