Lerner and Rowe Gives Back held a successful Chicago Thanksgiving meal giveaway on November 23, 2021 at the Pullman Community Center. Together with our partners from the Chicago Police Department’s CAPS program and Jewel-Osco, we were able to distribute 1,000 frozen turkeys and side fixings just in time for the holiday.

In addition to helping families with their holiday meal, our Chicago Thanksgiving meal giveaway featured snacks and refreshments for everyone in attendance, as well as sports activities for the kids. Rumor has it that Lerner and Rowe Gives Back’s Glen Lerner dusted off his turf boots and showed off his soccer skills.

On Monday, November 22, 2021, our team gave away another 750 Thanksgiving meal packages in Tucson at Manheim Tucson. With each car that lined up, our hearts grew fuller because not only did we get to personally hand out bags stuffed with traditional Thanksgiving meal goodies, we were also on the receiving end of one of the most priceless gifts ever– beaming smiles full of happiness!

So, THANK YOU, Tucson, and all of our team members and volunteers who helped make this Thanksgiving an extra special holiday.

Another city, another fantastic day of giving back! We are extremely grateful for the good spirits and patience of those who attended our Phoenix Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway at the Phoenix Metro Auto Auction. This was our third giveaway for 2021 and our team couldn’t have been more excited to help local families prepare for the upcoming holiday.

Each of the 750 packages that we gave away was full of goodies to make a traditional Thanksgiving meal, as well as a bunch of love and goodwill from our team. The holidays are not the only time we give back, but they do give us another opportunity to reconnect with our neighbors and wish them well in a more personal way.

Our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back team was at it again! We held round two out of the five planned Thanksgiving Meal Giveaways for 2021 in North Las Vegas at Manuel Cortez Elementary School.

Along with our community partner with the Clark County School District Police (CCSPD), we passed out 1,000 frozen turkeys with side dishes; enough food for a family of six to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together.

“Kevin and I really enjoyed serving together with our staff and the incredible officers of the CCSDPD to help 1,000 families enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal together. We love giving back into the communities as well as seeing so many smiling faces. It warms our hearts to consider that we are able to help families, who likely wouldn’t otherwise share a traditional Thanksgiving dinner together. This is our way of wishing Las Vegan’s a Happy Thanksgiving.” -Glen Lerner

Our Merrillville team had a wonderful time at the Humane Indiana’s 80th Anniversary Celebration Gala celebrating eight decades of Humane Indiana looking out for homeless animals, as well as rehabilitating the injured and orphaned wildlife in the area. We were proud to sponsor this evening of animal welfare and join other community members in honoring the good that can be done together.

Looking to the future, it will be our pleasure to continue supporting Humane Indiana’s mission to lead the community in the humane treatment of all animals.

Our Lerner & Rowe Gives Back team manned the second rest stop on the Project Hero Honor Ride in Las Vegas that was held on Saturday, November 6, 2021. We provided food, fruit, drinks, and bicycle repairs for the nearly 500 bicyclists who participated in this annual charity event that directly supports and funds life-changing rehabilitation services for our healing heroes.

“We have always been proud supporters of our military veterans and first responders. As such, our team has truly enjoyed working with Project Hero since 2018 and supporting its efforts to provide critical assistance to our veterans and first responders who fight the debilitating effects of PTSD. We so appreciate the mission and work of Project Hero, and it continues to be our privilege to work with such a fine organization year after year.”
