The Dodgers and its foundation haven’t stopped in helping the community during Thanksgiving season, including the two events that they did in the Dodgers stadium and Dreamfields (South LA).
The Dodgers have been giving turkeys to the local community during Christmas season for more than 20 seasons and 2023 is not the exception. They donated 300,000 turkeys to six organizations that will give the turkeys to the people in LA that need it.
