First lady lends a hand at Norcross ministry



NORCROSS -- Sandra Deal took her job seriously.  She searched the shelves filled with Barbies, games of Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land and trucks to find the perfect gift for a child she had never met. 


But Georgia's first lady worked hard Saturday to pick out the perfect Christmas present, as she volunteered with a few dozen others to pack Santa's sack for the Norcross Cooperative Ministry.  "That's the real meaning of Christmas, to serve others," Deal said.

In separate events across the state Gov. Nathan Deal and his wife worked at a food bank, visited an addiction ministry and fed the hungry in a program called "With a Servant's Heart." Sandra Deal said the first family hoped their efforts would inspire others to give back.
