A local ministry hosted a community giveaway Sunday afternoon. Through donations, it provided food, clothing and school supplies to help local families.

It all happened at the Tuckaseegee Park Recreation Center.

Families didn’t need their wallets at the event because all of the items were donated. The community giveaway event was hosted by Phaziz of Life International Ministries Inc. The founder Tirzah Andrews said she knows firsthand what it means to fall into hard times, and this was her way of giving back.

“I’ve been homeless, and I’ve had to feed my child at times when I didn’t eat and they ate, said Andrews. “There were times when I didn’t have what I needed to wear so that is why I also do the clothing, the food and hygiene products.”

Dezrene Gerald left with a bag full of goodies for her grandkids. She said she was thankful because after battling breast cancer and having her last surgery 6 weeks ago this support was much needed. She took a year off to deal with her illness and recovery.
