As part of his commitment to providing assistance to the neediest families in the lead-up to Thanksgiving Day, Rep. Víctor Parés Otero delivered dozens of turkeys in the communities of Camino Villegas, Vista Alegre, Canejas and Minao, among others, all located in the Municipality of San Juan.

The legislator also distributed turkeys at Luz Eneida Colón, Rafael Rivera Otero, Evaristo Ribera Chevremont and Arturo Morales Carrión schools, among others.

“We want the families of our [House] District Number 4 to have their traditional turkey for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, Thursday, which marks the beginning of the Christmas season in Puerto Rico,” Parés Otero said. “That’s why, in direct coordination with the San Juan municipal administration, we have been distributing turkeys to communities and schools since last week. Our goal is for San Juan families to enjoy this holiday in harmony and camaraderie.”

Starting early last week, Parés Otero and his team visited various communities in urban and rural areas to deliver the turkeys.

In the case of schools, many were given to participants in the already traditional “Turkey Races” in which young students participate.

“Seeing the joy on our children’s faces when we visit the [...] public schools to distribute dozens of turkeys is priceless,” the legislator said. “This is the true spirit of Christmas: ensuring that everyone can spend this day in their neighborhood with family and friends.”
