A long standing tradition continues this morning in downtown Windsor.
The annual "Mikhail Holdings Turkey Giveaway" takes place at 10am at the corner of Ouellette and University Avenues. 500 turkeys along with potatoes and canned vegetables will be given to families in need.
Joe Mikhail is a Partner with Mikhail Holdings. He says Mikhail Holdings took over the giveaway about 10 years ago.
"We'll be doing about 500 turkeys, turkeys, potatoes, bread, corn, a whole bunch of stuff that's being given away during that morning," says Mikhail.
Mikhail is asking those wishing to receive a package to bring identification.
He says only one meal package will be given per family.
