EAST DALLAS – The Fonseca family didn’t even know if their car would make it to Buckner International. They had to try. Otherwise, there would be no Thanksgiving this year.
Like so many families across the region, this last year has been particularly tough on Erasmo and Evanglina Fonseca. They decided to leave early for the annual Mavs’ Turkey Giveaway on Sunday.
The event takes place each year in partnership with Kroger, the official grocery store of the Dallas Mavericks. Players, staff and volunteers help prepare full Thanksgiving meals and sides to distribute to the families served by Bucker International.
