Hundreds of turkeys were handed out to local schools, churches and charities as part of Operation Gobble.
About 1600 turkeys were distributed to about 75 organizations on Wednesday. During the next week the food will be distributed to needy families.
Local assemblyman Henry T. Perea along with generous donors raised more than $20,000 for the event.
"We know families are going to be gathering around the kitchen table in about a week or so and we want to make sure everybody has a nice, warm meal to celebrate the holiday season with their family," said Perea.
The Fresno Community Food Bank will also be serving 12,000 families with their holiday meal box.
