Turkey Giveaway 2023
Thomas J. Henry will once again be giving away thousands of
Thanksgiving turkeys at in-person events in four South Texas cities.
Thomas J. Henry has been giving away Thanksgiving turkeys to needy families each
November for nearly 30 years. In fact, more than 650,000 people throughout the
South Texas region have been impacted by this generous event, making the Thomas J. Henry
Turkey Giveaway one of the largest Thanksgiving charity events in the nation.
Each year, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, South Texas residents have lined line up
around attorney Thomas J. Henry’s building waiting eagerly for their turkey. Oftentimes,
the first person in line had been there since two o’clock in the morning, and people
continue to receive turkeys until late in the afternoon.
But the Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway event is not just about turkey…it has become
a tradition in the Coastal Bend- a way to kick off the holiday season and bring families
and friends together for a day of fun and gratitude.
