Savannah’s Feed the Hungry prepares for its 18th annual Thanksgiving dinner event, organizing donation drives and seeking community contributions to provide traditional holiday meals for families in need.
- The organization has scheduled its 18th annual Thanksgiving holiday dinner, themed “Hope on a Plate,” for Tuesday, November 24, at 4 p.m. at the John S. Delaware Center.
- A public Thanksgiving food drive will take place on Saturday, November 21, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Food Lion located on White Bluff Road in Savannah.
- Donors can contribute turkeys, Thanksgiving side dishes, or financial support directly by visiting the official online portal at savannahfeedthehungry.net.
Putting a holiday meal on the table remains a challenge for various households across the region. Savannah’s Feed the Hungry works to ensure these families can still enjoy a traditional holiday dinner.
Founded by Carl Gilliard in 2009, Feed the Hungry has established helping families during the holidays as a longstanding community tradition, WJCL reported.
Volunteers James Williams and Samantha Davis appeared on WJCL 22 News to outline preparations for this year’s event and explain how residents can participate.
Community members can stop by the White Bluff Road location during the Saturday drive to donate necessary food items or funds.
