Last year, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office handed out more than 50 tons of food to more than 3,000 people.
This year, Sheriff Keybo Taylor says he hopes to double those numbers.
“When you can actually benefit the community in a different way, you know, by giving back by partner and then with community. I wish I could tell you, I just can’t explain it. But you know, it’s a very good feeling,” Taylor said.
