H Mart and Toufayan Bakeries, two borough businesses, donated turkeys, corn, peas, gravy, cranberry sauce, and assorted breads so that families in need could enjoy a home cooked Thanksgiving meal. The local collected 40 turkeys at the event.

"It's important to remember those we serve during the holidays,” stated PBA President Hagop Cigercioglu. "Local 330 members make every effort to donate their time to help others. We're fortunate that we can make this an annual event."

Local 330 has been committed to giving back to the community in positive ways since its inception in 1989.

Members have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Special Olympics New Jersey and have awarded numerous scholarships to high school seniors by collecting donations and volunteering at Ridgefield's spring carnival.

Recently, the organization distributed nearly 1,000 glow-in-the-dark safety wristbands for children to wear while trick-or-treating for Halloween.

Local 330 is looking forward eventful winter and spring seasons.
