MILWAUKEE — Jabari Parker, a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, donated and distributed Thanksgiving meals and turkeys to 150 pre-registered central city Milwaukee families on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at the Capuchin Community Services’ House of Peace site.
Jabari Parker hands a box containing fixings for an entire Thanksgiving meal to a client of Capuchin Community Services. The Milwaukee Bucks player paid for the cost of the food and distributed it with the help of students from Messmer and Divine Savior Holy Angels high schools.
The distribution is part of the Capuchin Community Services’ Holiday Food Box Program, which includes community partners such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Roundy’s, Gruber Law Offices, area businesses and organizations, participating parishes and schools of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
Each Thanksgiving food box contained a turkey and the traditional holiday fixings including stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce and more.
Students from Messmer and DSHA were on hand to assist with the distribution.
