Each year, local organizations and community groups in the Charlotte area sponsor Thanksgiving turkey and food giveaways, to make sure families facing food insecurity or financial hardship can gather together for a traditional meal.
This list will be added for 2026 soon.
We’re collecting as many of these turkey giveaways and food distribution events as we can find, and listing them here.
If you know of someone who might benefit from this information, please share it with them!
And if your group is hosting a food giveaway that you’d like to list here, please fill out this form to submit an event.
If you’re in need of food, please also check out Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, which is a good central point for many resources, and The Bulb, which distributes pay-what-you-can produce at many regularly scheduled markets.

Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Charlotte on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and we are not always notified. It’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
