Giving Turkeys, Giving Thanks

LaToya

On November 13, New York Yankees pitcher Dellin Betances brought Thanksgiving cheer to NYCHA families at the Polo Grounds Cornerstone, a community center operated by The Police Athletic League. Mr. Betances, who grew up at Lillian Wald Houses, helped volunteers distribute 500 turkeys, as well as a variety of healthy side dishes. The turkey drive was hosted by The Rosemark Group, Whole Foods Market, and The Police Athletic League.
