Nov. 23 at 9:15 a.m., the Pct. 4 Constables office will begin “Operation Turkey Dinner.”

“Operation Turkey Dinner” is a program that was designed several years ago by Constable Ron Hickman to promote community outreach during the Thanksgiving holiday. Uniformed deputies deliver Thanksgiving dinner to less fortunate families.

“Each year, many families do not get the opportunity to have a real Thanksgiving meal,” the constable’s office said in a statement. “We can all make a difference in some regard by giving back to those less privileged within our community.”

The Pct. 4 Constable’s Office said they have identified a number of families and intend to reach out and provide them with a turkey dinner meal for their family.

The fully cooked dinners feed a family of six to eight and consist of turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pie.

Constable Ron Hickman said John Peacocke with Sunrise Helicopter, Inc. was a major contributor in this year’s “Operation Turkey Dinner,” providing funding for 30 fully cooked dinners. 

“He truly exemplifies the meaning of Thanksgiving and the spirit of giving back and helping our fellow man in times of need,” he said. “This is truly what giving thanks is all about.”
