The TUCCI Foundation's Inaugural 'Gobble Wobble' Featured on ABC Action News/WFTS-TV Tampa Bay

By: Sean O'Reilly

TAMPA BAY, Fla. - Here are five things you need to know happening in Florida on Wednesday, November 23.

(1) No road closures

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and county road construction crews will make Tampa Bay drivers lives easier for the Thanksgiving holiday beginning on Wednesday.

Starting this afternoon through Monday morning, there will be no closures on area interstates or the Selmon Expressway construction zones in Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.

An estimated 33 million people nationwide will travel by car over the holiday weekend.

FDOT wants to remind you to buckle up while on the roads. Thanksgiving weekend is one of the most dangerous and deadliest times of the year to travel.

If you have a problem while driving to your destination in Florida, call the Florida Highway Patrol at *347 on your cell phone to receive aid.

(2) Metropolitan Ministries needs help

One of Tampa Bay's largest charities is in desperate need of food to be donated on Wednesday for their Holiday Assistance Program.

The Ministries is critically low on turkeys and canned yams. More than 1,000 turkeys are still need to meet the need. The Brink Foundation generously stepped up and will be matching all turkey donations that come in, up to 500 turkeys.

Donations can be dropped off at the Ministries' main Holiday Center located at 2010 North Florida Avenue in Tampa from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Approximately2,500 families are still left to be served by Metropolitan Ministries' Holiday Assistance Program.

(3) Gobble Wobble

The TUCCI Foundation is holding a pre-thanksgiving charity event to benefit the U.S. Marines Corp's annual Toys for Tots Foundation on Wednesday.

At the inaugural Gobble Wobble, each guest is asked to donate $10 or a wrapped gift for children and families in need this holiday season. Marines will be on hand to collect the gifts and money.

"Lot's of people are in town for the holidays and many go out the night before Thanksgiving, so we figured why not use this opportunity to raise money for a good cause while we have a captive audience," said TUCCI co-founder Clint Bertucci. "We couldn't be more excited to partner with Toys for Tots for the inaugural Gobble Wobble because they, like us, are committed to enhancing the lives of children."

The charity event takes place from 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. at Mangroves at 208 South Howard Avenue in Tampa.
