Woodfork Chapel African American Methodist Episcopal Church gave away free
Thanksgiving meals Tuesday night. Due to taking precautions from COVID-19, the
church did not have this event. But now in their fifth year, according to Rev. Randall L.
Webster, they prepared some 250 orders to give away. On the menu: chicken and dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes, and buttery rolls. Rev. Webster said this effort is to
help the community, especially those who need it, appreciate what we normally would
appreciate before the pandemic shutdowns--such as being together through serving and
having a good meal together.
