Konfidence Foundation Turkey Giveaway

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

The Konfidence Foundation gave away turkeys to over 500 families in need this Thanksgiving. Close to 35 volunteers helped hand out turkeys and potatoes to families from all over Atlanta at the World Church International in Decatur. The foundation is an outreach founded by the musician Akon. I photographed the giveaway for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
