1,000 turkeys to be given away for free, location for event changed to Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The location for the eighth annual Coats & Cans for Kids Turkey Giveaway with Kisling, Nestico & Redick is different this year.

The new location is at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, 350 Opportunity Parkway, Akron, Ohio 44307.

The free turkey giveaway is Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. The event will end when all 1,000 turkeys have been given away.

Due to COVID-19, families are no longer being asked to bring a non-perishable food item or gently used coat to receive a free turkey.

This year, KNR staff has donated food and coats in place of community members to help families in need.
