Free Thanksgiving Food for Veterans

Thanksgiving Food for Veterans – FREE

The United Way of Broward is thrilled to ensure every Veteran family in Broward County has food this Thanksgiving. Each box will provide enough food for a family of four for a full Thanksgiving dinner. Turkeys will not be distributed – instead a Publix gift card will be provided for the turkey. It is open to Veterans, active Military, National Guard and Reservists who are Broward County residents. You must present proof of Veteran or military status to pick up your meal.
