Prepare your calendars (and stomachs) for the return of Gratefull, Chattanooga’s free community luncheon celebrating its 10th year.
Next Thursday, Nov. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., you can gather in the 200 block of East MLK Boulevard, fill your plate with your favorite Thanksgiving foods, and share a meal with your neighbors.
Local nonprofit Causeway started Gratefull in 2014 to bring people from all backgrounds to a table where there’s a seat for everyone. The concept has since been adopted by other cities in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
Attendees are encouraged to bring donation items for the Maclellan Shelter for Families, like nonperishable food, coffee supplies, disposable tableware, and hygienic items. A donation bin will be on site.
If you’d like to get more involved, you can volunteer. Restaurant owners and caterers can also donate food.
