The Lowndes County Board of Education Head Start joined forces with community partners to supply a few local families with Christmas meals.
The program partnered with Bates Turkey Farm, Hayneville Associated Grocers and Priester’s Pecans to provide three Head Start families with a meal for Christmas. The three families selected were the Jones family from Central Head Start, the Mack/Taylor family from Fort Deposit Head Start and the Knight family from Jackson-Steele Head Start.
The families received the Christmas meals on Dec. 19, 2024.
“Our agency would like to thank Bates Turkey Farm owner Rebecca Bates Sloane, Alan Langley, the owner of Hayneville Associated Grocers and Priester’s Pecans owner Thomas Ellis for supporting us in this annual endeavor for over 14 years,” said Laura James-Hunter, Head Start family and community partnership manager.
