Officers from the South Gessner Patrol
station came up with the idea last week of giving away free turkeys to citizens
as a way to give back to the community seeing as there were many residents in
the area who lost a lot during Hurricane Harvey.
South Gessner commanders, along
with State Representative Gene Wu and Richard Rodriguez from the Brays Oaks
Management District graciously donated funds to purchase 52 turkeys to
distribute.
Turkeys with picked up early
this morning through collaboration with Fiesta. South Gessner officers
conducted traffic stops and pedestrian encounters at various affected apartment
complexes and areas around Southwest Houston and distributed the turkeys.
