Owners of 1515 Restaurant and Lounge and The Pizza Place in downtown Walnut Creek will handout 1,000 turkeys Wednesday to help those in need have a good Thanksgiving.
From 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, anyone in need of a turkey can come get a bird at the restaurant, 1515 N. Main St. Former Cincinnati Reds baseball player Joe Morgan, now a broadcaster on ESPN, will be at the restaurant from 3 to 4 p.m. to help hand out the turkeys.
The turkeys were purchased and delivered by the Safeway store in Alamo. The money to buy the turkeys was raised at a charity golf tournament put on by the Dudum family, which owns the eateries.
Assistance organizations such as the Monument Crisis Center and Hospice of Contra Costa County have been invited to come get multiple turkeys for their clients, said Jack Dudum.
Walnut Creek Mayor Gary Skrel is expected to attend, as well.
