To give back to the community, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel and State Representative Natalie Manley have teamed up with local elected officials to host a free holiday turkey and ham giveaway.

“Now more than ever, we need to give back to our communities,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “It’s important to provide a little more security in the form of a warm meal to those who need it most this season. Events like these truly showcase the spirit of the holidays.”

The free event will be held at the Romeoville Village Hall parking lot, located at 1050 W. Rodeo Rd. on Thursday, Dec. 18 from 4-5:30 p.m. or while supplies last. The giveaway will be conducted drive-through style and one turkey or ham will be provided per household.

“Here in the 98th District, we believe in supporting one another,” said Manley (D-Joliet). “Co-hosting this holiday drive is a reminder of the power we have when we come together with generosity and purpose. This season, we’re not just sharing food, we’re sharing hope, dignity, and the spirit of community that defines our district.”
