VALLEY STREAM, NY - Green Acres Mall held its annual Thanksgiving turkey distribution last week, giving hundreds of frozen turkeys to organizations across Valley Stream and surrounding communities. Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages joined in distributing over 100 turkeys to houses of worship and community members through her district office. The collaboration culminated efforts to provide relief to families in our community before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Assemblywoman Solages’ office distributed 100 turkeys directly from her district office on North Central Avenue, and an additional 50 to churches and civic associations in the 22nd Assembly District, including Holy Name of Mary Church, Bethany French Baptist Church, Millbrook Civic Association, Argo Civic Association, Locustwood-Gotham Civic Association, and the Parkhurst Civic Association. Green Acres facilitated the distribution of hundreds of additional turkeys to organizations across Nassau County.

Assemblywoman Solages said, “Thanksgiving is a time for giving back to the community, and we are grateful to Green Acres for their commitment to those in need. Hosting this distribution and allowing our local community organizations to receive turkeys to give away is an immense help to families across our area. It’s inspiring to see the dedication of so many people in our community joining together to make sure everyone is looked after this Thanksgiving.”

Jill Bromberg, Marketing Manager at Green Acres, said “Green Acres is proud to host this annual distribution and provide support to organizations making a difference in our community. We are grateful for the volunteers and team members at Green Acres who made this event possible. We look forward to continuing this tradition so we can make this Thanksgiving holiday special for everyone.”
