The City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation Department will host the 16th Annual Edinburg Cares Food Drive on Saturday, November 21, 2026, so families across the city can enjoy Thanksgiving, the city said.
City staff plan to work with the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District and H-E-B to distribute 1,000 turkeys and 1,000 food baskets to pre-selected families in Edinburg. A kick-off ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. at 315 Mark S. Pena Drive before deliveries begin.
Residents can donate non-perishable items such as canned fruit and vegetables, stuffing, and gravy mixes through November 17, 2026. The city also needs volunteers to sort cans, fill food baskets and make deliveries. Volunteer information is available by calling (956) 381-5631.
