ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – The Dezio and Gingello Foundation hosted its third annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway Sunday in Rochester on 1169 St. Paul Street. "We are honored to coordinate this event with the efforts of HOPENY who has been phenomenal at meeting with the public and helping us manage this with our volunteers," Executive Director Jake Bishop said. More than 200 turkeys were expected to be given out with more than 50 of them being given away along with a box of food items, clothing and hygiene products. "Being able to come out here and offer turkeys for Thanksgiving and hams for Christmas allows us to lessen the burden for families, especially around this time of the year when people want to save up for gifts," Bishop explained. "We live in the real world; we know how much it costs right now for groceries and expenses." According to Bishop, the organization is looking to partner with HOPENY once again around Christmas time to giveaway more food and toys for children.
