The Jenkins County Council of Churches (JCCC) is continuing a six-year tradition of providing Thanksgiving meals to needy families in the community. In past years, local churches, organizations and individuals have made contributions of food, money and time to make this event successful.

This year, the JCCC is soliciting community support for the Thanksgiving "Meal in a Bag." The meal will consist of baked ham, stuffing mix, green beans, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. The ingredients will be packaged and ready for families to prepare in the home.

Volunteers will be needed Tuesday, Nov. 25, to transport food, pack the meals and distribute and deliver bags to families.

To make monetary or food donations (green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing mix), call Tonya at Jenkins County Family Enrichment Center at 982-8004. She will also take names of volunteers and community families who might benefit from this year's project.
