Nearly 400 families will have turkey or ham this Thanksgiving, courtesy of the Atlantic City chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi.
Chapter President Pastor James Pressley organized a giveaway Saturday outside City Hall in Pleasantville.
The line stretched around the block with cars double-parked as Atlantic County residents waited for their turn.
“Ham or turkey?” Dr. Blair Bergen asked as the fraternity members and other volunteers handed off the proper choice to each person.
City Council President Carla Thomas joined the fraternity along with Assemblywoman Claire Swift, who brought along her young son and nephew.
Anthony Voigt and Sean Swift made sure to have a turkey at the ready as each person came through. They would then direct them to the table of ham in Walmart bags if that was their choice.
The turkeys were too heavy for the bags, but county residents made due as they received their bird with a thank you and a few Thanksgiving wishes mixed in.
