November 22, 2022

Yesterday, November 20, The Enterprise Center in partnership with the Walnut Hill Community Association and Central City Toyota hosted the 2022 Annual Turkey Giveaway at Max Paul Park (located at 46th & Market beneath the El stop). Volunteers and friends of the partnered organizations handed out 300 turkeys to West Philadelphia community members, as well as bags of fresh produce including squash, cucumbers, broccoli, collards, and kale… and free books too!

This Turkey Giveaway was one of many over the years, and represents a longstanding partnership initiative of ourselves and the aforementioned groups - it is aimed to give back to our West Philadelphia neighbors and residents, and to ease the financial burden on families as we enter the holiday season.
