Chaffin Luhana distributing

turkeys at Hancock park

PITTSBURGH -- Given COVID-19's effect on many households and the food insecurity spikes seen across the region, the Chaffin Luhana Foundation plans to help families in need by giving away more than 800 turkeys on Nov. 19 and 20.

Set for Pittsburgh and Hancock County -- two locations in which the firm has offices -- Chaffin Luhana will use a contactless drive-through service to distribute the turkeys. To qualify, those interested must complete the form on the firm's website at ChaffinLuhana.com/turkey-giveaway.

Quantities are limited so it is highly encouraged to complete the form to reserve a turkey and also arrive when the event begins at 2 p.m. at the respective venue. Turkeys will be available until they run out.

The local distribution will begin at 2 p.m. on Nov. 19 at in the pool parking lot at Tomlinson Run State Park. located at 3391 Veterans Blvd., New Cumberland.

"I don't recall there ever being a greater need in our community than now," said Eric Chaffin, managing partner and co-founder of Chaffin Luhana LLP, and trustee of the Chaffin Luhana Foundation.

"COVID-19 has drastically changed everything about our lives and put so many hard-working people out of work. Now they are struggling to figure out how to feed their families. How could we not help? In 2020, with our #10kSandwiches Drive in March, and these events, we are highly focused on addressing food scarcity."

"This is a time for the community to come together," added partner and Co-Founder Roopal Luhana, also a CLF trustee. "Food insecurity is a very real issue for people in the communities we serve. It's important to everyone at our firm to do our part and help where we can. Doing nothing was never an option. Helping families in the Pittsburgh area and in West Virginia is the least we can do."

Chaffin Luhana is committed to giving back to the communities it serves, officials noted. Most recently, the focus has been on food insecurity and safety through COVID-19, starting with CLF's 10,000 sandwiches event in March through which it gave out 10,000 sandwiches. It then followed with efforts to help distribute masks to more than 12,000 people in Pittsburgh.

Chaffin Luhana has an office presence at 3200 Main St., Weirton.
