The Giving Coast

Manasota Flooring, a local, family owned and operated business with more than 40 years of flooring experience and expertise, will host the 7th annual Community Turkey Giveback Event benefiting police officers, firefighters and paramedics on Wednesday, December 20, 2023. The company will give 500 turkeys to first responders from 9am - 4pm at each of the Manasota Flooring showroom locations in Bradenton, Sarasota and Venice.  “Each year as we plan this giveback event, we are honored to recognize and celebrate our heroes throughout this community. This is easily one of our favorite company traditions - and we are always humbled by the response from our first responders who are able to attend,” said Chris Quattlebaum, Manasota Flooring Manager. “Manasota Flooring is proud to be a part of this incredible community, and we are proud to have an opportunity to show our gratitude during this holiday season, and beyond.”  Manasota Flooring will give the turkeys on a first-come, first-served basis and all police officers, firefighters and paramedics may be asked to show proof of identification. The event will be held at all three Manasota Flooring showrooms, located at: 4551 North Washington Boulevard in Sarasota, 2510 1st Street West in Bradenton and 1734 South Tamiami Trail in Venice from 9am - 4pm on Wednesday, December 20, while supplies last.
