Bowl a 'turkey' for charity, more options for giving
Kings, 50 Dalton Street, Boston.
The holiday season is fast approaching, and with that comes the urge to give back to the community. Here's one option: Kings, a bowling alley and bar in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, is offering a fun incentive to help a family in need for Thanksgiving.
Get a group together and suit up in your best bowling shoes (or socks if you don't actually own the shoes ... why not?). For every three strikes in a row (or as some say, a "turkey"), Kings will donate a turkey fit for the Thanksgiving table to the Greater Boston Food Bank or the Dedham Food Pantry for families in need.
This event will continue until Wednesday, Nov. 20 -- a day before Thankgiving.
Are you looking for other opportunities to give back this holiday season? Here are some other options:
Thanksgiving Bootcamp (Thursday, Nov. 22): Get some exercise before a heavy holiday meal. Head to the Boston Common on Thanksgiving day for a work out. All proceeds benefit the St. Francis House.
Winter Walk (Sunday, Dec. 2): If you're trying to find ways to avoid putting on weight during the holidays, take part in the Winter Walk, where a walk around Boston will go toward helping the homeless who are without shelter this winter.
Handmade for the Homeless (Sunday, Dec. 2): Put your knitting skills to good use and crochet or knit items for those in need. Materials and any help needed are available.
