EAST BRIDGEWATER — Crocetti’s butcher shop in East Bridgewater will be handing out hundreds of free turkeys to local active-duty military, veterans and veterans’ families on Veterans Day.
On Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, owner Carlo Crocetti and his team will set up an area outside the new building at Crocetti’s Oakdale Packing Co. (The Outlet at Crocetti’s), to hand out the turkeys from 1 to 3 p.m., or until all the turkeys are gone, on a first-come, first-served basis.
“We are very grateful for our veterans here,” Carlo Crocetti said. “My family has always had a true admiration for the bravery and selflessness of each and every veteran. This November, we want them to feel and know that they are truly appreciated by us and the community.”
“A lot of people are hurting right now, and veterans are not getting the attention they deserve,” Crocetti said.
“Hopefully, nice acts like this will inspire other business owners to do the same.”
