How do you get 200 turkeys to people in need in Hawaii?
HAND 'EM TO MARSHAWN!
The ex-NFL star grabbed his Beast Mode shorts, some PPE and a few friends -- and hit the streets of Oahu on Monday to distribute 200 turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving.
5X Pro Bowler, #Hawaii resident Marshawn Lynch & his @fam1stfam teamed up w/ @youngsfishmkt, Tamura Super Market, @BFL_Hawaii, @ChadOwens2 & others to pass out 200 free turkeys on O’ahu #AlohaSpirit #HappyThanksgiving @MoneyLynch // https://t.co/9oZimTtTXJ 🤙🏽 pic.twitter.com/zj6vdzJ0uK

FYI, Hawaii's economy has been hit particularly hard from the COVID pandemic -- crushing the tourism industry for months.
Tons of people are out of work and struggling -- and Marshawn Lynch decided a little Turkey Day love could go a long way.
So, he teamed up with Young's Fish Market, Tamura Super Market and other partners to get the birds to the people who could use some help this holiday season. Ex-NFL wideout Chad Owens, who's from Hawaii, was on hand to help out with the giveaway.
The video, shot by KHON's Rob DeMello, is fantastic -- showing Lynch bouncing from car to car ... dropping off turkeys like he was Santa in November!
At one point, he even struck a QB pose using a turkey as the football!
Don't throw it. Stick to the ground game.
And, good work to everyone involved!
