For the second consecutive year, Pacers guard Monta Ellis hosted a turkey giveaway at a local Kroger on Tuesday afternoon.

Ellis' ME8 Foundation provided 300 turkeys to families in need at one of Kroger's E. 10th St. locations. Ellis also signed autographs and, along with his wife, Juanika, and their two children, greeted each person as they went through the line.
