"Hopefully, a lot of struggling families will benefit from this idea," said Betty Evans and her staff at the Road Ranger in Dry Ridge, Ky. Employee Jahquay Hyles added, "It's good to be blessed with a great job and money in the pocket, but it is an even greater blessing to be able to pass those blessings along to someone else."
And Road Ranger employees came up with other creative ways to further their generosity. Store Manager Mary Roaden (Crescent Springs, Ky.) and her team decided to pool their turkeys and hold a raffle for them. "We are going to use the proceeds from the raffle to help buy Christmas [presents] for orphans."
Jeff Harris, director of operations, said, "In a time when people are looking to receive, the employees at Road Ranger, in their true Ranger spirit, have decided to give. I couldn't be more proud of my co-workers."
