A long line wrapped around the Northeast Bronx YMCA for meals in the area and many who received turkeys left with a smile on their face.

The giveaway was the second known Turkey giveaway in the Bronx. Fat Joe hit three spots, beginning with his Mott Haven Up Top store to donate turkeys to those in need.
