Several DeSoto Parish families in need received full Thanksgiving meals this week thanks to a partnership between the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office and a local business.

With a generous donation from Billy B’s Cajun Grill in Mansfield, investigators from the Sheriff’s Office assembled and delivered complete holiday meal packages, including turkey, dressing, green beans, and rolls. The initiative was coordinated by the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, whose staff personally delivered each meal across the parish.

Families were identified through the Sheriff’s Office based on need, ensuring the meals reached households facing hardship this holiday season.

Sheriff’s Office officials expressed appreciation for the restaurant’s generosity and community spirit.

“We are thankful for the kindness shown by the staff at Billy B’s and for everyone who helped make this effort possible,” the department said. “Their willingness to step up and support local families made a meaningful difference this Thanksgiving.”

The Sheriff’s Office says acts of community partnership like this one highlight the compassion and commitment found throughout DeSoto Parish.
