Hot Radio Maine has officially announced the return of its annual Thanksgiving free turkey giveaway, marking its 12th year. The event has established itself as a significant initiative for the station, having provided over 2,500 turkeys to families in Maine since it began.
This year, the stations aim to distribute more than 200 turkeys, reflecting a substantial increase from past years.
The giveaway, supported by Maine’s Credit Unions and That Place in Ogunquit, will take place at the Wells IGA, located at 1517 Post Road, on Tuesday, November 26th.
Turkeys will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 11 a.m. until supplies are exhausted.
No cost or registration is required to participate in the event. Community members are encouraged to arrive early, and as in years past, the station asks attendees to allow those in need to collect their turkeys first.
Hot Radio Maine’s Program Director and morning host Ryan Deelon recently highlighted the importance of an upcoming community event in an on-air announcement.
He said, “This is one of the most important events our station holds each year. It’s remarkable to see the growth of this event over the past 12 years. With the rising costs affecting everyone, we are glad to provide some relief to our community members this Thanksgiving. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.”
Hot Radio Maine is heard on 104.7 FM in Portland and southern Maine, 100.3 FM in Lewiston, Auburn, and Brunswick, and 102.9 FM in Bangor, Brewer, Old Town, and Orono.
