If your grocery budget is tight this Thanksgiving, two Milwaukee giveaways can help you put a turkey on the table. One also offers a box of groceries. Both have limited supplies. If you need food sooner or cannot get to either event, you can call 211 for help finding a pantry or meal site near you.
Friday, Nov. 20 at Brentwood Church of Christ
Brentwood Church of Christ will start handing out food at 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, 2026, at 6425 N. 60th St. The giveaway is set up for people to pick up food by car. The church asks everyone to stay in their vehicle. Each vehicle can receive one turkey and one grocery box while supplies last. Call (414) 353 6757 if you have questions before you go.
Monday, Nov. 23 at King Community Center
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center will give out frozen turkeys from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23, 2026, at 1531 W. Vliet St. Families can receive one turkey per household while supplies last. Call the center at (414) 344 5600 for details.
