Birmingham City Councilwoman Lashunda Scales provided area students and their families with turkeys and all the trimmings, just in time for Thanksgiving. The meals were personally delivered by the councilor to various locations over a two day period. She even surprised some students with a special pillow pet gift.
Councilor Scales partnered with Faith Walkers Church of Roebuck to provide the meals and make this Thanksgiving holiday special for the deserving families.
“With a sluggish economy and parents trying to make ends meet, this time of the year can oftentimes present a challenge for students and their families. The partnership between the District 1 office and Faith Walkers Church was developed to provide holistic support to area families long after the holidays,” said Councilwoman Scales. “I believe that our district is a giving community and no better time, like the present, to continue that effort.”
Councilor Scales also delivered a special message to the student body at a few of the schools for American Education Week, which is a national celebration of public education.
