Two days before Thanksgiving, as many as 300 needy north shore families received groceries for a holiday feast, delivered by the Turkey Train to Faith Bible Church in Covington.
The Turkey Train project allows people to celebrate Thanksgiving Day in their own homes.
Through the donations received, they are able to cook at home, to enjoy the company of loved ones and friends, and to say grace around their own family table.
The Exchange Club of West St. Tammany helped raise more than $7,000 to provide meals for the 300 families. Other community partners to raise funds and distribute the meals were Gulf Coast Bank; Covington Kiwanis Club; the Christ Episcopal Church youth department; and students from Archbishop Hannan and Covington high schools.
