The Giveaway

Every year before Thanksgiving, RNSLA distributes turkeys and full holiday meal sides to families across South LA who could use a hand. It's one of the simplest and most meaningful things we do — and it's become one of the traditions that defines who we are as a club.

This year we're targeting 200 turkeys with complete sides packages. Volunteers are needed starting at 8 AM for setup, and distribution begins at 9 AM on a first-come, first-served basis. Sponsors can fund individual turkey packages or contribute to the overall goal.

What to Expect

  • Turkey and holiday sides distribution (first come, first served)

  • Volunteer shifts from 8 AM through noon

  • Community gathering with music and fellowship

  • Sponsor recognition and photo opportunities

  • Kids' activities during distribution

Who Can Participate

The giveaway is open to:

  • South LA families and community members

  • RNSLA member volunteers

  • Individual and corporate sponsors

Sponsor a turkey package online or volunteer by contacting the RNSLA board.
