Gathering Church will host its fifth annual Turkey Outreach on November 22, providing 500 local households with free turkeys, fresh produce and dry goods to help families prepare Thanksgiving meals.

  • The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 151 Eglin Parkway NE, behind the Dollar General building.

“This is one of our favorite events because we get the opportunity to not just provide much-needed food, but we also get to connect with our community, hear their stories, pray with them, and love on them the way that Jesus loves us,” said Nicci Meng, director of outreach at Gathering Church.
