The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line and Publix Super Markets will host the 19th annual Turkey Time with the O-Line on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025. Offensive linemen will distribute more than 1,000 full Thanksgiving meals at the Flag Lot at the AdventHealth Training Center. Families pre-selected by United Way Suncoast, Hillsborough County Public Schools and local nonprofit organizations will receive the meals.
The meals are funded by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line, Offensive Line Coach Kevin Carberry and Assistant Offensive Line Coach Brian Picucci. Publix and TECO Peoples Gas also will contribute to the effort. More than 150 volunteers will participate, including Buccaneers players, Buccaneers staff, cheerleaders and Captain Fear.
The participating offensive linemen are Karsen Barnhart, Graham Barton, Ben Bredeson, Benjamin Chukwuma, Dan Feeney, Luke Goedeke, Luke Haggard, Charlie Heck, Michael Jordan, Elijah Klein, Cody Mauch, Tyler McLellan, Lorenz Metz, Ben Scott and Tristan Wirfs. Each family will receive a 12- to 16-pound turkey, stuffing, gravy, au gratin potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn, Hawaiian sweet rolls, yams and pumpkin pie. The meal packages also include a reusable shopping bag, foil, a pan roaster and a $5 Publix gift card.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line launched the annual effort in 2007. Following the 2025 distribution, the event will have provided more than 15,500 underserved families with Thanksgiving meals. The event is part of the offensive line’s annual effort in the Tampa Bay community during the holiday season.
