If you've got canned goods to spare, Edinburg wants them. The city's Parks and Recreation Department, with Edinburg CISD and H-E-B, will give 1,000 turkeys and 1,000 food baskets to pre-selected families, and the 16th annual Edinburg Cares Food Drive is asking for canned foods, microwavable items and volunteers.
