Orlando, FL – Families in Orange County can get a free turkey for Thanksgiving this weekend, thanks to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The annual Turkey Giveaway takes place Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the department’s Central Operations Center, 2500 W. Colonial Drive, Orlando.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the event will provide one turkey per household while supplies last, offering residents a chance to prepare for the holiday without extra financial strain. Deputies and volunteers will be on-site helping distribute frozen turkeys during the morning hours.
The department said the giveaway is part of its yearly tradition to “kick off the season with gratitude and community.” Families are encouraged to arrive early, as past years have seen strong turnout and early sellouts of available turkeys.
The initiative is one of several community outreach efforts organized by the Sheriff’s Office each holiday season, aimed at supporting local families and strengthening neighborhood connections.
Residents planning to attend should bring proof of residency and be prepared for drive-thru distribution to ensure quick and safe service.
