WHEREAS, Early Walker has also provided over 25,000 turkeys to families who have struggled to provide themselves with adequate food for Thanksgiving.  In addition, he recently took ten families to a local WalMart and allowed each family to spend up to $200.00 on groceries for the Thanksgiving holiday; and
