BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — Families who live in homes without ovens can still enjoy a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, thanks to a crew of volunteers in Bushwick.
Local politicos and volunteers will gather at nonprofit Churches United For Fair Housing headquarters on Wednesday for a day of dunking and deep-frying turkeys, organizers announced Tuesday.
The fried and frozen turkeys being prepped are expected to feed about 500 needy families across the borough, said CUFFH.
