Community leaders team up for turkey drive
SUMMARY: Law enforcement and community leaders in Lowndes County, Mississippi, are teaming up to give away 1,000 turkeys for Thanksgiving. The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office and the Community Benefit Committee are accepting turkey donations until November 17th. The turkeys will be given out on November 18th at the new Lowndes County Sportsplex. This initiative allows both organizations to give back to the people of Columbus and Lowndes County. Lieutenant Rhonda Sanders and Sheriff Eddie Hawkins believe it is important to help families in need and give them a “hand up” rather than a handout.
