Detroit, MI – Residents near the Detroit Police Department’s 2nd Precinct have the chance to pick up a free turkey today as officers host a community holiday giveaway running this afternoon.
According to the Detroit Police Department, the 2nd Precinct—located at 13530 Lesure on the city’s west side—will distribute turkeys between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The department said turkeys will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with supplies limited.
The event is designed as a drive-up giveaway, allowing families to pull in, receive a turkey, and continue through the line. Officers encouraged residents to arrive early to ensure availability, noting that holiday food distributions often draw strong turnout in the surrounding neighborhoods of Detroit, Wayne County, and the greater metro area.
Police said the effort is part of ongoing community engagement initiatives aimed at supporting residents ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The 2nd Precinct serves several west-side communities, including areas near Grand River Avenue, Greenfield Road, and the neighboring Seven Mile corridor.
The department did not specify the number of turkeys available but emphasized that distribution will continue only while supplies last. No registration or proof of residency was mentioned in the announcement.
Residents planning to attend should expect increased traffic near Lesure Street during the 1 p.m. start time, particularly as the precinct sits within a residential area with limited parking.
