The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation is partnering with the Prince George’s County Department of Social Services to screen residents for the ninth annual Redskins-Harris Teeter Harvest Feast.
In order to qualify, proof of county residency must be provided and residents must meet established income guidelines. Eligible residents will receive a whole turkey and fresh and packaged food on Nov. 22 at FedEx Field. Residents will have until the end of the day on Nov. 11 to call the county Department of Social Services at (301) 909-7107 to determine eligibility.
The feast feeds thousands of residents in need of Thanksgiving holiday food items each year. Since 2003 more than 803,600 pounds of packaged and fresh food and 282,000 pounds of turkeys have been given to families in need. More than 300 volunteers from FedEx, Harris Teeter, Junior League of Washington, Prince George’s County Department of Social Services, Redskins Women’s Club, Ryan Homes, and Wells Fargo are expected to staff this year’s Nov. 22 giveaway.
Kids at the giveaway will also get to visit with Santa and will receive a gift bag wtih a Redskins Read activity book, toys, and treats.
