Bessemer, AL – Families in western Jefferson County can pick up free Thanksgiving turkeys this morning as the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office hosts its next holiday giveaway stop in Bessemer.
The event begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Macedonia Baptist Church, located at 1401 26th Street North in Bessemer. A promotional flyer shared by the sheriff’s office shows the event includes fresh produce and other ingredients needed for a full holiday meal. The flyer also features a sheriff’s office representative and emphasizes the partnership with community organizations helping distribute holiday food essentials.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the Bessemer stop is part of a broader countywide effort to provide Thanksgiving dinner supplies to residents ahead of the holiday. Deputies and volunteers are expected to assist with distribution onsite, and supplies are available while quantities last.
The agency urged residents to share the announcement to help spread the word to families who may need assistance. The post encouraged attendees to arrive early, as previous giveaway locations have drawn significant turnout across Jefferson County.
This year’s giveaways come as many local families face higher grocery prices heading into the holiday season. Community-based distribution events have seen increased participation throughout the Birmingham metropolitan region, including Bessemer and surrounding cities in Jefferson County.
Residents attending today’s event should use 26th Street North for access and follow onsite directions for traffic flow and pickup lines.
Community members are encouraged to comment or share their experience with past giveaways, including how long lines typically take and what time they recommend arriving.
