The local 83rd precinct is teaming up with local officials and small buisnesses for their annual Thanksgiving turkey drive.
The yearly drive is held throughout the city (and also in Yonkers) to help families in need get food for the upcoming holiday.

In an email to Bushwick Daily, Salvatore B. Polizzi of Tony’s Pizzeria & Restaurant had this to say about the importance of the drive:
