Thank You to Rev. Corey Bender and Midway Freewill Baptist Church. On last Friday with the aid of Tyson Foods, they distributed many cases of chicken free to anyone in the community, all you had to do was go to the church and pick it up. Again, thank you Rev. Bender and Midway Freewill Baptist Church.
