This program can help people. Turner buys quality food in bulk through a distribution program in Tallahassee. He will bring a tractor-trailer to Apalachicola once a month for distribution. Seafood dealers Donny Wilson and Harley Allen have volunteered to make trucks and drivers available to the program at no cost, and Turner said that spirit can be seen in the entire project. 100 percent of what comes in goes back to the needy.
Every dollar comes back.
The type of food will vary each month. He said a typical box of cookies in a recent buy cost 20 cents. Every donation means that more food will be purchased the next time around. And Turner said that there's no requirement that people getting food go to the church. The church isn't running this program.
