Chattooga County families needing a little extra support heading into the Thanksgiving season are encouraged to take part in tomorrow’s 9th Annual Home for the Holidays Food Distribution, hosted by Chattooga Family Connection.

The large drive-thru event will take place Thursday, November 20th, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Community Resource Center of Chattooga, located at 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville.

Event coordinator Maisha Ludy says the giveaway is open to all Chattooga County residents, with organizers preparing essential food items and community resources to help families during the holiday week. Parking will open at 12 noon, one hour before distribution begins, and each vehicle will be required to complete a short survey upon arrival.

Volunteers are being asked to arrive early as well, with check-in at the CRC scheduled for 10 a.m. to help with setup and distribution.

Chattooga Family Connection encourages anyone needing assistance to come out for Thursday’s event, which runs until 3 p.m. or while supplies last.
