Coordinated by the Domestic Violence Division and Victims Assistance Unit, the program promotes community outreach during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Constable deputies will be delivering Thanksgiving dinners to less fortunate families in the Houston area. Constable Herman said the department has identified a number of these families and is providing them with a warm, traditional dinner.

According to Herman, the fully cooked dinners feed a family of six to eight and consist of an oven-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, old-fashioned stuffing, turkey gravy, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, a pumpkin pie and a 2-liter soft drink.

“This year we were honored to partner with Commissioners Tom Ramsey and Lesley Briones, State Representative Sam Harless and Judge Lincoln Goodwin. Precinct 4 is proud to assist our community who shows us an abundance of support,” Constable Herman said.
