Paris, Tenn.–Thanks to the Tennessee River Longbeards Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation in Paris, 50 families will have plentiful Thanksgiving Day dinners.
Members of the group sorted and delivered boxes containing turkey, ham and all the trimmings to make up nice Thanksgiving dinners to 50 families Tuesday. Group members gathered at Lakeway IGA in the afternoon to pack up the dinners.
Natalie Hickman explained the group receives the names of families each year from the Family Resource Center, churches and the Carl Perkins Center.
Members delivered the boxes to the doors of each family, who are totally unaware that the deliveries are coming. “It’s a total surprise to them,” Hickman said.
Each package comes with a note that says, “May God Bless You with peace, love, abundance and prosperity this Thanksgiving and beyond.”
