Yanks to distribute Thanksgiving food vouchers

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have announced that they will hold a Thanksgiving food voucher giveaway for residents of The Bronx on Thursday morning at Yankee Stadium, in partnership with Krasdale Foods.

Beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, approximately 3,000 food vouchers will be distributed to Bronx residents to assist local families in preparing their Thanksgiving meals.

The distribution will take place at the Gate 2 (corner of 164th Street and Jerome Avenue) and Gate 8 entrances (on River Avenue between 162nd Street and 164th Street).

Residents are invited to come pick up a voucher, which can be redeemed at participating local Bronx-based C-Town and Bravo supermarkets (while supplies last). Vouchers will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
