www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County Sheriff Keybo Taylor and his deputies will hand out Thanksgiving meals to more than 1,000 families at the county fairgrounds in Lawrenceville later this month.
The sheriff's office will host a drive-thru Thanksgiving Food Giveaway from noon until 5 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the fairgrounds, which are located at 2405 Sugarloaf Parkway. The office will partner with Perdue and the Derrick Brown Foundation to provide the food for the meals, which will include one meat as well as grocery items for every car.
"We are grateful to the many sponsors of the event, including principal sponsors Perdue and the Derrick Brown Foundation," Sheriff's Office officials said. "Over one thousand families ... will benefit from the generosity of our donors, who also value the importance of helping families in need. With over 17% of Gwinnett County children and nearly 1 in 8 Georgians experiencing food insecurity, it’s critical that everyone helps to change that trend. Together, we can make a difference."
