We decided we d rather be flamingos than troublemakers, Paula McDonald told NBC 5.
And with that, the Flamingos of Carrollton flew into action to help their beloved community. Feeding families in the pandemic has been one of the biggest needs. We brought in canned goods. We brought in whatever they needed, Judy Lyle said. Other organizations or people will contact because they know they can count on us to help. So, we will collect food or do whatever we need to do, McDonald said.
McDonald s volunteer work with the flamingos recently earned her the city s Neighborhood Leadership Award. While she appreciates the honor, the reward comes in the work.
