The event is the largest one-day food gathering event in the area, and this year collected a record-breaking 9,056 turkeys.
On Tuesday, November 23, John DeBella broadcasted live from The Kimmel Center, and the MGK on-air staff lent a helping hand on the air from 12 additional sites across the tri-state area. The turkeys will be distributed throughout the holiday season.
