HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It can be hard to put food on the table these days, especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner.

But ’tis the season of giving, and to kick off the festivities, 1,000 turkeys are being given away, while supplies last, at Davis High School from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Equality Health Foundation is hosting its 2nd Annual Healthy Fall Festival and Turkey Raffle at the school located at 12525 Ella Boulevard.

The Healthy Fall Festival is a community celebration that includes health education and community resources, a healthy bag giveaway and 1,000 frozen turkeys, while supplies last.

“Locking arms to serve the neighborhoods significantly affected by the pandemic in the Aldine Independent School District is more crucial than ever,” said Tomás León, President of the Health Equity Foundation. “Our goal is to reach even more families this year and help build healthy and thriving communities.”

The Equality Health Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to level the health playing field in culturally diverse and underserved communities.

Their goal is to expand access to care, accelerate health education, and eliminate health disparities as we focus on pandemic recovery so everyone has the opportunity to lead healthier, longer lives.

This event attracts residents and community organizations from Harris County and beyond.

The organization welcomes participation from partnership-level sponsors, including Health Champion ($5,000), Health Advocate ($2,500) and Health Supporter ($1,500).
