LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Neighborhood Nip Foundation hosts its first-ever Turkey Giveaway at the future site of the foundation’s headquarters on Crenshaw and Slauson, passing out 5,000+ turkeys in partnership with the Think Watts Foundation.
The giveaway was located at the new reconstructed Nipsey Hussle Plaza, the original location of the Marathon store on Crenshaw and Slauson.
The foundation was founded after the late Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle passed away in 2019. His brother Samiel Asghedom, also known as Blacc Sam, is making sure the marathon continues for his brother’s legacy.
“We’re actually trying to plan for next year,” said Asghedom. “Being able to get out here and activate with thousands of turkeys is a blessing.”
Founder of Think Watts, Stix, is touched by how one conversation brought this event into fruition.
“We know had a conversation about doing something for the community and this is the first of that conversation,” he said. “That is giving out turkeys with all of the sides for everyone that need it.”
The ABC7 street team was also onsite distributing 500 ABC7 grocery tote bags to help everyone bring home their Thanksgiving meal.
