Preparing a Thanksgiving meal can be an expensive affair — and, for some, a luxury they can’t afford. If you’re looking to help a family in need, consider donating to the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services’ Turkey Drive, which runs today, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

However, if you or someone you know needs help putting food on the table this holiday season, we’ve rounded up seven Thanksgiving distributions happening in and around Sacramento.

Note: All distributions are first-come, first-serve. Early arrival is recommended.
