CLARKSVILLE, TN – Over 600 families will have a special Thanksgiving this year. Despite challenges with supply chain issues and food shortages, Clarksville Association of Realtors (CAR) and its Spreading Our Support Foundation (SOS), were able to successfully host their annual Thanksgiving for All food drive.
These 600 Thanksgiving meals are going to organizations throughout the community to include: CMCSS, YAIPaks, Loaves and Fishes, Operation Standdown and the Hispanic American Society. On Nov. 22, 50 volunteers delivered to 24 locations in Montgomery County.
Thanksgiving for All is funded through monetary donations by CAR’s members and friends, as well as supply assistance from Hilltop Grocery, Gordon Food Services, and Nicoletta’s Catering.
“It has been my privilege to assist in this event, along with the Helping Hands committee, the SOS Foundation, and members of CAR. The number of families that we were able to serve is truly a blessing. As Realtors, we are always looking for ways to serve our community and I think we were able to do that this Thanksgiving season,” said 2021 Helping Hands Committee Chair, Sandy Hester.
