Benztown Gives Thanks… & Gives Back

• For the sixth year, the Benztown Brigade volunteered their services on Monday night at the E.J. Jackson Foundation Turkey Giveaway, which feeds over 10,000 hungry citizens every Thanksgiving. The 35-year annual charitable event served long lines of people, stretching for blocks in South L.A., as they waited patiently to receive a turkey with all the trimmings, donated by the E.J. Jackson Foundation, whose mission is to feed as many hungry families, senior citizens and veterans throughout the year.

Benztown’s L.A. employees and their friends and families have joined them in this community service effort for the past six years. Founder E.J. Jackson died last year, but his legacy continues in this annual community service event.
