MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis-area church helped several people out on Saturday with free gas.
Brown Missionary Baptist Church hosted "Gas Up for Blessings" at the Shell station at 2711 Range Line Rd. and gave away gas to help folks in need during the holidays.
That's about 400 people getting $25 to the tank. As people waited in long lines at the pump, volunteers spread their word to those waiting their turn.
Executive Pastor Derrick Anderson said the giving doesn't stop there.
"We have a food bank drive going on at our church," Anderson said. "We're also doing 31 Days of Christmas. We're giving away $1,000 a day to families going through desolate times, making sure they have something to support."
Anderson said they just want to give hope to the community.
