For Thanksgiving, Charming usually had donation boxes all around town for people to donate food items for the less fortunate. It gave Teegan an idea. She created flyers that said "Ten percent off a tattoo with food donation from Nov 5th to Nov 24th" to put up around town and asked Tig to procure her a box that she could set in her shop. He raised and eyebrow and asked what she needed it for making her smile and say "Donations." He smiled back and told her he'd see what he could do.

They had to order some parts for a few cars they were working on and they all arrived together in one large box. He asked if he could take the box to Teegan's shop earning shrugs from everyone. Gemma was curious as to why the tattoo artist wanted the box in the first place. Teegan hugged her 'ol man when he arrived with a large box. She set it by the counter on the floor. He noticed the flyers on the counter and asked her about them.

"After work, I'm going to go around and put them up all over town. Try to incentivize people into giving for charity while bringing in some extra business." She smiled.

"Sounds like a win-win for everyone!" Tig draped his arm around her shoulders.

"I hope so." She replied as Tig eyed David.

He still didn't like some younger, better looking kid working side-by-side with his woman but she kept reassuring him he was just her employee and nothing would ever change how she felt about the biker. "I like older men, babe. You're perfect to me." she always said. David greeted Tig with a wave and a smile as he always did. Nick came out of the bathroom and waved at Tig before having a seat back behind the counter.

"I know you'll bring in more business and get food for charity. As a matter of fact, let me take a few of these to the shop with me. I'm sure Gemma wouldn't mind helping you promote." Tig told her.

"That would be great, honey!" She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"Anything for you." He leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Happy wasn't working that day, he had club business to take care of with Jax and Chibs. As much as she tried to distance herself from the club, she found herself being drawn in. Nick suggested they take them to some of the local businesses to see if they'll hang them up in their windows to advertise for her as well. She tasked the prospect with doing that while she hung up others all around town. David said he'd take a few to his gym and laundry mat and leave them there for people making her thank him for his help.

Tig left when a customer came in. Teegan took him and got to work drawing up a design for him. The SAA headed straight to Gemma's office to see if she'd leave some of Teegan's flyers on her desk for their customers to see when they came in to do paperwork. It made the Queen proud that Teegan was trying to raise food stuff for the needy especially around a time when some families didn't have hardly anything to eat for the holidays. She was happy to have them on her desk as she worked.

A few of their own customers took a flyer. After work, Teegan shut the shop down then handed Nick some of the flyers so he could go to some of the local businesses and talk to them while she went to put up flyers all around town. David had already snagged a few to take with him. She bid the pair a good night and that she'd see them the following day. Tig decided to just order them a pizza knowing she was going to be a little late coming home from work.

Teegan was exhausted by the time she'd finished putting up her flyers. She hoped it would do some good and she could raise a lot of food stuffs for the chamber of commerce who would be making packages and delivering them to needy families in the area. Gemma was planning a huge family dinner for the club. She asked Teegan to help which shocked the tattoo artist. "You're an 'ol lady, officially, babe. You're expected to help!" Tig told her when Teegan told him about the conversation she'd had with Gemma.
