Continuing a John Flowers tradition with a twist, Frankie Flowers brought groceries to ten families unable to afford Thanksgiving dinner Wednesday night.

Rather than cook up a meal, Flowers collected grocery donations for families who still wanted to cook their own food. Flowers gave out turkey, potatoes, pork tenderloin gravy and other groceries, and he plans on serving meals to families in need on Thanksgiving Day.
