A holiday meal giveaway turned into a door-to-door service Sunday.

Sen. Vince Polistina , Assemblyman Don Guardian and Assemblywoman Claire Swift set up at Ministerio Cristiano Church at noon Sunday.

There they distributed 250 holiday meals to local families. The meals included cooked turkey or ham, cranberries, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. 

Afterward, the legislators took to the streets, hand-delivering meals directly to members of the community who couldn’t attend in person.

They were joined by Atlantic County Sheriff Joe O'Donoghue, City Council President Carla Thomas and Kappa Alpha Psi Atlantic City Chapter President James Pressley, whose group sponsored a turkey and ham giveaway ahead of Thanksgiving.

Also in attendance were Atlantic County Clerk Joe Giralo, Atlantic County Surrogate Jim Curcio and Atlantic County Commissioner President Maureen Kern.
