Hundreds of families attended a turkey giveaway and health fair at a Lincoln Park YMCA. The event was put on by Assemblymember Akliah Weber in partnership with SD Food Bank & Jackie Robinson YMCA.
SAN DIEGO – With rising inflation and a continued emphasis on keeping everyone healthy, hundreds of people went to the Lincoln Park YMCA for much needed food and health care resources benefitting the San Diego community.“It’s been hard. I’m not going to lie. I mean we just barely scrape through, but when there’s events like this, we’re very grateful,” Paul Perez, who attended Saturday’s event, said.
A thousand plump birds were handed out, along with other fresh produce and dried goods, to families in need like the Perezes. This also was a chance for people to take part in various health screenings as vaccines for COVID-19, flu and other viruses were administered at the event.
