One of the many Turkey giveaways was held at Pilgrim Baptist Church with Pastor Donnel Townsend working as hard and joyfully as the many volunteers who came out for the event. Pastor Ray Smith was the key to this activity as he has been for many years.
This year had a list of 40 some churches participating as more than 600 churches picked up not only turkeys, but also eggs, milk, and bags of all the things to make a great dinner for each recipient. The sponsors were not only Attorney Gomez, but Highlandria Dairy. Mr. Shane Harris was a key coordinator for Attorney Gomez and his many young people who happily volunteered.
The line of cars coming through a very organized drive-thru stretched for several blocks as people waited patiently for their turn to open their trunks for the packages that included not only canned goods, dressings, and water but also a bag of white potatoes as long as they lasted.
The attitude of service was contagious as many familiar faces were seen who have participated year after year, volunteering their time and help.
