COPPERAS COVE â Phase two of Bethesda Fellowship Ministriesâ annual holiday food giveaway was deemed a success Saturday as cars and trucks lined up outside the Copperas Cove church throughout the afternoon for a complimentary frozen turkey and other assorted food items.
Last month, the church handed out 300 Thanksgiving meals, and volunteers were on hand Saturday at three locations â also including the Copperas Cove Housing Authority, and Sunset Lane at Casa Drive â to distribute another 300 food packages as part of an annual community service activity that began back in 2007.
Bishop R. Ray Gatewood was all smiles Saturday as he and a small team of busy church members did their part to spread some holiday cheer through the community.
