SAN DIEGO (FOX5/KUSI) — Several motorcycle clubs came together in downtown San Diego on Saturday to give away full Thanksgiving meals to families in need, aiming to support the community and challenge long-standing stereotypes about riders.

The giveaway took place on Market Street at the San Diego Deuces Motorcycle Club clubhouse, where the sound of engines filled the block as volunteers handed out meal bags.

“Today is all about us giving back to the community,” said Currency with the San Diego Deuces Motorcycle Club.

Eight local motorcycle clubs participated, distributing Thanksgiving bags filled with vegetables, yams, stuffing, corn and other staples for a complete holiday meal. The Deuces hosted the event in partnership with several local social clubs, including the Benevolent Beautiez, who helped organize the effort.
