SAN DIEGO -- More than 600 families arrived at Petco Park earlier this week, and more than 600 families returned home with a full Thanksgiving meal ready to be enjoyed.
The Padres' second annual Thanksgiving Turkey Distribution was a success once again. And the event appears to be growing into a staple of the San Diego community going forward.
The Padres have partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to host the event each of the last two years. This month, the Food Bank identified 620 local families in need who turned up at Petco Park on Monday morning to receive a full Thanksgiving meal, including turkeys and traditional Thanksgiving sides.
