Every year around Thanksgiving, the City of Lauderdale Lakes has reached out to its churches and get a list of families that may need a little assistance and provide them with Thanksgiving dinner, and this year was no different.
“Lauderdale Lakes is a We Care City”, said Mayor Barrington Russell, Sr. “We recognize that the holidays may present a challenge for some of our residents and we try to seek out those families and provide them with some cheer; it’s our way of showing that we do care and appreciate their efforts to be productive citizens in our City.”
This year, the Department of Parks and Human Services worked closely with the Mayor and Commission office to provide a giveaway. The departments gave out more than 300 turkey dinners to residents that have been chosen through the four churches in our city as well as the Alzheimer’s Center participants.
“I am so grateful for the meal and feel blessed to be in a City where they consider the residents in this manner,” said dinner recipient Margie Clark.
