Governor Bobby Jindal Releases Statement On Don King's "Christmas Turkey Tour"
Today, Governor Bobby Jindal released a statement thanking Don King for bringing the "Christmas Turkey Tour" to Louisiana where over 20,000 turkeys were delivered to a food bank in New Orleans.
Governor Jindal said, "This is the season of giving and I want to thank everyone involved with the Christmas Turkey Tour' charity who have taken time to help families in need. As Louisiana continues to recover from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, I encourage Louisianians everywhere to make sure that families across the state have a chance to enjoy the blessings of the holiday season by making donations to your local food banks or Goodwill centers."
The "Christmas Turkey Tour" has distributed turkeys across the United States every holiday season for the past four decades. This year, they plan to distribute 100,000 turkeys in hopes of feeding over two million people in states hit by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
