🍁 What an Incredible Day! Our 25th Annual Feed the Community Dinner Was a Success! 🍁

Today, we celebrated our 25th Annual Feed the Community Dinner, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude. This event is one of our favorite traditions, and seeing our community come together in such a powerful way reminds us why we do this work.

For the past week, our team has been working behind the scenes to prepare for a day that serves over 2,000 of our Bartow County neighbors. From organizing meals to coordinating deliveries and services, every moment was worth it.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers and community partners who showed up today. Because of you, families received hot meals, free haircuts, medical and benefits screenings, clothing, and so much more. Your generosity and spirit of service make this event possible year after year.

It’s days like this that show what can happen when a community stands together. ❤️

We are honored to serve Bartow County and grateful for everyone who helped make today such a special success.

Recently, the Cartersville Daily Tribune asked us when and why was the 25th Annual Feed the Community Dinner renamed in honor of Michael Dean. Well, in 2012, we chose to rename the dinner in honor of Michael Dean, a man whose generosity and compassion left a permanent mark on our organization. Frontiersman Michael wasn’t just a member or supporter, he was a driving force. He believed deeply that serving others was one of the greatest callings, and he worked tirelessly to bring people together through this event. By placing his name on the dinner, we ensure that his spirit of kindness, leadership, and commitment to the community lives on each year we gather.

Join us this Saturday, November 22nd, at the Cartersville Civic Center.
