All Faiths Food Bank to Distribute Thousands of Thanksgiving Dinners Across Sarasota County

The Giving Coast

For many years, in addition to its regular food distributions, All Faiths Food Bank has held large-scale turkey distributions across DeSoto County, providing turkeys and all the trimmings to neighbors in need in advance of Thanksgiving. These distributions are part of the annual ThankFULL campaign, a three-month community effort to raise funds for 14,500 turkeys and 4.1 million holiday meals for families across Sarasota and DeSoto counties. This year's large-scale distributions for Sarasota County residents take place at the following locations and times: Ed Smith Stadium (2700 12th St., Sarasota) Wednesday, Nov. 19, 4-6 p.m. (in partnership with the Baltimore Orioles); Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall (777 N. Tamiami Tr., Sarasota) on Saturday, Nov. 22, 9-11 a.m.; and in South County, community members can find turkey dinners at Englewood Sports Complex (1300 S River Rd., Englewood) on Nov. 20, 9-10:30 a.m.
