Henry, Tenn.–Mary’s Kids has provided Christmas presents and food boxes for 55 families in Henry this year.
A crew of volunteers gathered Saturday morning–even right after the tornadoes tore through our area–at Henry School to organize and distribute the gifts.
Henry County Sheriff Josh Frey, who has been a long-time supporter of Mary’s Kids, said presents included bikes, clothing, toys and more and that each family also received a food box which included ham, macaroni and cheese, corn, rolls, apples, oranges, potatoes–enough for a nice Christmas dinner and beyond.
Junior Milam is the chairman of Mary’s Kids, which is a nonprofit organization that provides Christmas presents for needy kids in Henry who are not selected for other local Christmas programs.
