Over 500 families can count on having a better Thanksgiving this year, thanks to a group of Jacksonville politicians who will host a farm share event Saturday.
The food giveaway is on a first come, first serve basis, and kicks off at 9 a.m. at parking lot 4 of Florida State College — Jacksonville’s downtown campus.
The politicians participating as community event partners are both Republicans and Democrats.
Among them are State Sens. Aaron Bean and Audrey Gibson, the latter the current frontrunner to be the next chair of the Duval County Democratic Party.
Also serving as community event partners: Councilmen Reggie Brown, Reggie Gaffney, Sam Newby, and Tommy Hazouri.
Special guest for the event is Jacksonville native Laveranues Coles, a former NFL wide receiver with multiple teams who also played for Florida State University.
