Thanksgiving is approaching and several Houston-area organizations are offering ways to help families keep their celebrations within budget.
As shoppers try to garner items at the grocery store for the big feast, they are reminded of the high prices that await them at the register — according to Finance Buzz, the average turkey in Texas is about $22. To ease the load for those in need, here is a list of places that Houstonians can go to either get a free meal or pick up food items like a turkey for Thanksgiving.
