Boston Red Sox employees delivered 1,200 frozen turkeys to 12 food pantries and food banks throughout New England on Monday, November 19. Gail Cummings of Dorchester and Renee Poutre of Cambridge were among Red Sox employees that stopped by Northeast Kingdom Community Action in St. Johnsbury, VT to give the community a Thanksgiving treat.
