Due to a turkey shortage, Jesberger said families will get chicken and the typical feast fixings. But, he said dessert is needed for thousands of people.
Jesberger is challenging Long Islanders to match, or beat, his $65,000 donation. Last year, the auto body owner donated $30,000 for a Salvation Army holiday toy drive.
