Turkey time! Mavericks team with Kroger to provide Thanksgiving feasts

This has been a bad year, a sad year.

There hasn’t been much to be happy about. Or thankful for.

And then, you have a day like Tuesday at the Buckner International Humanitarian Aid Center.

Bright sun, not a cloud to be found and Mavericks and Buckner International staffers helping to hand out 200 Thanksgiving dinners to people who really need a reason to smile.

And smile, they did. We’re talking ear-to-ear grins, the kind we haven’t seen enough of in 2020.

It was the tipoff event of the Mavericks’ Season of Giving as they pulled off the annual turkey giveaway to needy families despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
