From Arkansas-
From the doors of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Monday, local young volunteers carried boxes of traditional Thanksgiving fare to the vehicles of thankful citizens.
The Turkey Project, comprised of donations and volunteers, resulted in the distribution of 3,000 pounds of frozen birds, hundreds of pies, canned goods and fresh bread to applicants in need.
Dr. Liz Gron, “head turkey” and professor of chemistry at Hendrix College, led the community project with the help of the Boys and Girls Club of Faulkner County, students of Conway High Schools-East and West, and individuals.
“We provide the fixings for a turkey dinner, uncooked. This is so that people can eat in their own homes on Thanksgiving. It’s meant for people in food need. As you know, there are a lot of people who are working that cannot afford the fancier fixings like a Thanksgiving meal,” Gron said. “It’s a community project to feed the community.”
