Big Spring’s Shiloh Salazar has announced a giveaway aimed at making the Thanksgiving holiday a bit brighter for some of our neighbors.
According to a Facebook post on Tuesday, Salazar has teamed up with other Democrats in West Texas to give away 10 complete Thanksgiving feasts to one household in each of the counties making up Texas House District 72.
“Because everyone deserves a seat at the table,” Salazar posted, “Thanksgiving has always been about more than what’s on the table. It’s about the people gathered around it, the memories made, and the communities we call home.
This year, we’re hoping to make the holiday a little easier for a few of our West Texas neighbors.
We’re giving away 10 complete Thanksgiving meals!”
Salazar said each meal package will include a turkey and ingredients for traditional sides, rolls, and dessert, with enough to feed approximately 10 people.
Residents in Coke, Coleman, Concho, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Reagan, Runnels, Sterling and Tom Green counties are free to enter for themselves or nominate another family, and there are no requirements to enter, but entries are limited to one-per-household.
Entries will be accepted through midnight on Nov. 19, and a random drawing will be held on Nov. 20, when those selected will be notified privately.
The meals will be distributed Nov. 21-22.

“We will not publicly announce names or ask anyone to explain why they need a meal,” Salazar concluded, “A special thank you to the Eden Democrats, Big Spring Democrats, Glasscock County Democrats, and Tom Green County Democrats for pitching in to help make this possible!”
“We wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. Whether your table seats two or 20, whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, or neighbors, we hope there’s always room for one more.
Because everyone deserves a seat at the table.”
