Houston families facing food insecurity, made worse by the interruption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits during the federal government shutdown, received a boost: 600 turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving.

Houston City Council Member Tiffany Thomas, who represents District F in west Houston, donated 300 turkeys, adding to the 150 from Alief ISD and 150 from Houston ISD. The turkey drives were held Nov. 19 and Nov. 21.
