"We want to make sure that families have both hearty Thanksgiving meals and the chance to get vaccinated if they aren't already."
"Giving back to those in need is what we as public servants should be involved with," said Jeri Williams, Police Chief of the Phoenix Police Department.

"The Loyalty Restaurant & Lounge family are proud supporters of events like this, that give us purpose and shows dedication to the betterment of surrounding communities," said June Durr, Loyalty Restaurant & Lounge Owner.
