Sallisaw Church Slates Outdoor Giveaway Oct. 3

Sallisaw Church of Christ has scheduled an outdoor giveaway from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, in the parking lot at 1104 E. Choctaw.

Wayne Atkinson, the church’s minister, said the event is something his congregation wanted to do because they are “tired of COVID-19 keeping people away from church. We are sensitive to what is happening in our community,” he added.

The church held a similar event last year that brought in hundreds of folks, Atkinson said, adding that he hopes this year’s event will have even more participants.

“Nothing is for sale,” Atkinson said. “Everything is free.” The church will be following state and CDC guidelines throughout the event, and social distancing and masks are required.
