Suffolk County police and State Police will distribute free turkeys and hams to families in need next week at a North Amityville church.

The giveaway is part of the 10th annual Cops Who Care food drive, a partnership between the two police agencies.

It takes place from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21, at Shaw Temple AME Zion Church at Albany Avenue and 44th Street.

There’s a limited supply, so each family gets one item.
