• 🧡 Gratitude in Action 🧡 At the Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA, Thanksgiving is more than a holiday it’s a reminder of what community truly means. Each year, our annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway brings together local partners, volunteers, and neighbors to ensure that every family can share a warm, nourishing meal and feel the love that surrounds them.

For many in East LA, this event represents hope, dignity, and connection. It’s our way of saying: you matter, and you belong. It’s a labor of love for our beautiful gente. 🫶🏼

We are deeply grateful to all our partners and supporters who make this tradition possible year after year. Grateful to work alongside to help make this happen and to and all our other partners, because of you, thousands of families will celebrate Thanksgiving with full hearts and full tables. 🙏✨
