(Walhalla, SC)-------------------------------------The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Isaiah 40:31 Foundation and Publix in Seneca, delivered Thanksgiving meals yesterday to citizens of Oconee County.
“For the third straight year, Sheriff’s Office Deputies and employees were able to deliver Thanksgiving meals to our citizens in Oconee County,” said Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw. “Working with our partners and friends in the Isaiah 40:31 foundation, and Publix in Seneca, approximately 96 meals were created in order for those families to have a Thanksgiving meal and to enjoy this special time of the year with their families and friends.”
The meals consisted of, among other food items, a pre-cooked ham, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, rolls and a pumpkin pie. The families, who received the meals, were nominated by citizens in Oconee County who then notified the Sheriff’s Office. The goal is to help families that can benefit the most from this meal delivery.
According to Sheriff Crenshaw, each meal will feed 6 – 8 people which means that about 700 Oconee County citizens will have a traditional Thanksgiving meal this year.
“Just like the previous two years, the money for the meals was provided by an anonymous donor in order to help others as well as to continue to help the Sheriff’s Office forge relationships with our citizens. The anonymous donor is a supporter of law enforcement,” said Sheriff Crenshaw. “On behalf of the women and men at the Sheriff’s Office, we thank the Isaiah 40:31 foundation and Publix in Seneca for their continued partnership with us to help others in Oconee County.”
According to the King James Version of the Bible, Isaiah 40:31 says, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
