FRANKLIN
The LEVOC Family Services continued its annual Thanksgiving tradition of giving turkeys to members of the Franklin community. This year, the organization chose to direct its aid to the seniors citizens who attend the Senior Services daily program, which is conducted at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Franklin.

LEVOC staff delivered 25 turkeys on Nov. 19 to the seniors at the facility.

LEVOC, which has an office located on Armory Drive in Franklin, is dedicated to serving youth and families in the Franklin community. The organization feels that by the giving of these turkeys to families, this is one way that it can make a difference during these difficult times.
