# The Red Chickz Fed 300 Families for Sixth Thanksgiving Basket Brigade Event

**TL;DR:** The Red Chickz donated 300 baskets of food to financially challenged families in Los Angeles for the sixth consecutive year. The baskets contained essentials for a Thanksgiving feast and were either picked up by families or delivered directly to their homes.

## Story

Each basket contained the essentials for a Thanksgiving feast such as turkey, stuffing, bread, vegetables, drinks, and desserts. 150 baskets were picked up by families at Centro de Ninos day care and the parking lot of Christian Assembly church in Eagle Rock and another 150 were delivered directly to their homes.

“We are so proud of the turnout for this year’s event and we are thankful for the staff and volunteers who made it happen,” said Shawn Lalehzarian, Founder of The Red Chickz. “It means the world to us to be able to give back to the Los Angeles community that we have been so lucky to call home and we are already looking forward to next year’s Thanksgiving Basket Brigade.”

The Red Chickz makes their Nashville hot chicken to order in six different spice levels and forms such as sandwiches, tenders, wings, and tacos. Shrimp is also featured on the menu and can be tossed in the same spice mixtures. To accompany the mains, The Red Chickz also has some classic Southern staple sides like potato wedges and coleslaw, and makes their own “Comeback Sauce” to dunk in.
