Cars were lined up all the way to Englewood Road waiting to receive their turkey. Numerous GSC volunteers and jail trustees worked to make this event a success. Martin's Auto Body and Wrecker Service picked up the turkeys from Walmart on one of their roll back wreckers. It was a blessing to be able to do this for GSC clients.
