A free Thanksgiving dinner was donated to 60 patients at the Samuel Dixon Family Health Center and their families last week after receiving donations from the Valencia Water Company and Superior Grocers in Pacoima.

All the food items were delivered at the Val Verde Health Center location and were distributed to three of the health center locations in Val Verde, Newhall and Canyon Country.

The Valencia Water Company provides turkeys for the patients and their families at SDFHC annually, according to a news release.

In addition to the turkey donations this year, store manager Jeff Togneri of Superior Grocers in Pacoima donated side dishes to complete the holiday meal.   

Superior Grocers supplied mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing and gravy.

The dinner would not have been possible if it were not for the generosity of the contributors, SDFHC officials said.

“We are extremely grateful to Cris Perez, VP of Operations with the Valencia Water Company, and Superior Grocers for their support of our organization and their support to our families who come to us for healthcare, dental care, behavioral health counseling and health care enrollment,” SDFHC Chief Executive Officer Philip Solomon said. “This has been a great partnership and an annual tradition for us to give back to our community, something we could not do without the support from both of these organizations and all their wonderful employees.”
