TEANECK, NJ — On Monday, November 20, 2023, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) joined with the Bergen County NAACP to help collect donations and hand out Thanksgiving turkeys to support and look out for local families in need.

Every year, because of countless volunteers, we’re able to give back, help those who may not be as fortunate, and make sure everyone has the Thanksgiving turkey they deserve.”
