For the seventh consecutive year, State Representative Borris L. Miles
in collaboration with TexStars Foundation and Our Legends Givings will
distribute turkeys to underserved families throughout District 146.
Representative Miles and
community volunteers will meet Saturday, November 19, 2011 at Sunnyside
Park located at 3502 Bellfort Street at 1:00 pm to organize for the
annual turkey give-a-way. Representative Miles recognizes that many of
our families in need have little or no transportation, thus the
give-away will begin at Sunnyside Park and travel to various locations
throughout the district. As the "Son of Sunnyside" and a lifelong
member of District 146,
Representative Miles has his
pulse on the needs throughout the district and works hard to secure
public-private partnerships and community volunteerism to serve the
neighborhoods he serves.
"When we work together as a community, we all rise," says Miles.
Families in need are
encouraged to come to Sunnyside Park to receive a turkey for their
family. The need in the community is greater than ever, and the goal of
the event is to assist as many families as possible, thus we will only
distribute one turkey per household.
"I am extremely grateful to
Constable May Walker for providing constables to ensure our volunteers
are safe," states Miles. "I want to thank all the people who have
worked with me over the past seven years to brighten the holidays for
District 146 families. I know that together we have made a difference."
