Harris County, TX – Hundreds of families in Harris County can pick up a free Thanksgiving turkey today during a large drive-through giveaway happening in South Houston. The event runs from 1–3 p.m. and is expected to draw long lines as organizers prepare to distribute around 700 turkeys on a first-come, first-served basis.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the giveaway is being hosted by Los Amigos Empresarios, with support from local partners, volunteers, and community organizations. Each vehicle will receive one turkey, and officials advise arriving early to secure a spot in line before supplies run out.
The primary distribution point is 701 Indiana Street in South Houston, with staging and traffic flow forming near South Houston City Hall at 1019 Dallas Street, organizers said. The event is designed as a drive-through to keep traffic moving and ensure families can pick up food quickly and safely.
Flyer details show the event is supported by dozens of local businesses, nonprofits, and elected officials who are contributing to the effort to assist residents ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Community leaders say the goal is to ease financial strain on families who may be struggling with rising food costs this season.
Drivers are encouraged to plan for delays in the surrounding residential areas as vehicles line up for the distribution. Deputies and volunteers will be on-site to direct traffic and assist with the flow of vehicles.
Residents who plan to attend are asked to ensure enough trunk space for the turkey and to follow all traffic instructions once in line.
