Families Helping Families is giving free groceries \u2014 including Thanksgiving turkeys \u2014 to 1,700 families on Saturday at locations across the greater Houston area.<\/p>\n
Most of the locations are already at capacity, but families may still be able to sign up to attend a giveaway at Missouri City’s Sta-Mo Sports Park by calling 832-471-4172 or 832-471-4173 by 5 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

The cost of sponsoring a family is $100. More information can be found on the nonprofit’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Families Helping Families is one of several organizations providing food to Houston-area residents ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n
