Some musicians started their Thanksgiving by giving back to those in need in Brooklyn.
Care packages containing nonperishable food collected from can drives and local food pantries, clothes and shoes were given to those in need as part of the "Spread the Love" event Thursday.
The event, organized by the Avenue Music Group, brought together musical artists from around the borough for some performances as well.
Spread the Love was organized to give artists who themselves might be struggling financially a way to help their community.
