Antioch charity and church give away 200 turkeys for Thanksgiving
On Wednesday, November 25th, 2015 members of Grace Bible Fellowship of Antioch came together to help underprivileged families of the community for Thanksgiving.
Organized by Carl Rhodes, Director of Project 66 and Pastor Kirkland Smith, volunteers presented 200 families with free turkeys and the fixings.
“Many of the families helped have fallen on hard times and really seemed to appreciate the help, as they try to get back on their feet,” Rhodes said.
