Glen Laurel Residents Of Clayton NC Give Back This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and many residents of Glen Laurel in Clayton NC will be coming together to provide a wonderful and free Thanksgiving meal to 500 needy residents of Clayton. Twenty-two churches, four civic clubs, three restaurants, and two veterans groups have come together this Thanksgiving to provide a much needed meal to those in need in Johnston County. The meal is scheduled for Wednesday, November 24th.

Serve the Need in Johnston County is responsible for bringing all the groups together this year to serve the community. President of Serve the Need, Dr. Norwood Williams, said it's the first time the town has had a Thanksgiving program on such a large scale. In previous years, there were some groups, throughout the county, which gave out frozen turkeys, and some churches have had small dinners but there has never been anything as large as what is planned for this year. “This is the first concentrated, coordinated effort throughout the whole community," Williams said.

The plan is to cook 50 16-pound turkeys donated by Talecris. The group has enlisted the help of many area restaurants and churches to help refrigerate the turkeys. If you are looking to volunteer for the event call Kristin Williams at 550-0614 or email her at info@servetheneedinjc.com.
