UNIVERSITY CITY, MO — All Nations Church in University City, in partnership with the University City School District, will host a "Happy Thanks Giveaway" event on Saturday, November 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to a press release. The church is located in the Westover shopping center at 7860 Olive Boulevard.

Officials said more than 200 meals, including frozen turkeys, potatoes and green beans, will be distributed to families identified by the school district.
