Lake Ridge area church to hold annual turkey give away

For the fourth consecutive year, Holiness Tabernacle Church Of God In Christ in Woodbridge is sponsoring ‘Tis the Season to Give Thanks – and giving away free turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday, Saturday, Nov. 17 beginning at 10 a.m.

The church is located at 1440 Old Bridge Road in Woodbridge.  According to a news release, in 2011, HTC provided more than 400 Turkeys for families in the Woodbridge area. Its 2012 goal is to double that amount with 700-800 turkeys.

Having purchased a new worship center in 2009, Holiness Tabernacle is committed to providing a helping hand to those in need.

Pastor Eddie B Pruitte, Jr., who feels God has called the church to minister to the total needs of the Woodbridge community, both natural (educational, social and economical) and spiritual, was quoted in a news release, “I’ve always been a firm believer that before we can meet the spiritual needs of people, we must first meet their physical needs.”

The church’s Missions Department has also partnered with the Capital Area Food Bank to host a free food distribution the second and fourth Monday of each month.
