Turkey Basket Give-Away

November 27, 2019

About 30 community volunteers gathered Saturday at St. Peter Lutheran Church to assemble and distribute Thanksgiving baskets to 100 local families, including those served by Communities Connected for Kids.

The project, now in its eighth year, is a labor of love for a Fort Pierce attorney who wishes to remain anonymous.

"People needed it, and we had the resources," she said, surrounded by busy volunteers and walls of frozen turkeys and Idaho potatoes.

The Albert Wilson Foundation and Publix contribute to the project, and CCKids staff members Sheila Pina and Shearon Demps identify and organize families who need a little help putting food on the Thanksgiving table.
