Union Station Homeless Services said earlier this month it needed about 450 turkeys to feed some 4,000 people on Thanksgiving, and at that point it only had seven birds.
The organization was also looking for fixings and other ingredients to fill the meal boxes it gives out every year. This year was far more difficult than in the past because of a turkey shortage and an increase in prices.
The Kardashian-Jenner family heard about the shortfall on the news and came through, providing hundreds of turkeys plus ingredients such as 50 gallons of milk, 50 pounds of butter and 450 pies.

The shelter thanked Kris, Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian "for your support in making this Thanksgiving special for so many neighbors who would otherwise not be able to enjoy a holiday meal this year."
