With Thanksgiving slowly approaching, everyone is probably ready to stuff their faces. On the flip side others might be wondering what and where will they eat for the holiday.

Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful and appreciative of those around you and to give back to those who might not be as lucky as you. Some of the Tuscaloosa communities will provide opportunities for those who might not have a meal for Thanksgiving. 

The annual “Mama’s Pantry” is one event that takes place during this month that gives back to others during this time. On November 12 from 11 a.m.- to 1 p.m., they will be giving free full Thanksgiving meals to those in need, as well as gift bags. This will be held at the Community Soup Bowl located at 1711 23rd Ave. If you have any questions or would like to help contribute you can reach the executive director Tammy Clark- Wilson at 205-765-7737

Sharing is caring and there is no such thing as too much help when it comes to your community, especially during the Thanksgiving holidays.
