Annual Tradition Helps Provide Families with a Protein-Rich Turkey for Thanksgiving
For most of us, it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a turkey. Unfortunately, many of our neighbors face the prospect of spending this traditional family holiday without a turkey as the centerpiece of their meal. That’s why Randalls Food Markets is once again making sure that thousands of Central Texans will have turkeys for Thanksgiving. For the 14th year in a row, Randalls is donating 1,000 frozen turkeys to the Central Texas Food Bank so they can be distributed to hungry Central Texans. Because there’s no place like hope for the holidays.
