Grace Baptist Church in Knoxville Expands Its Eighth Annual Feeding the 5,000 Thanksgiving Event to Three Locations for an Expected 10,000 to 15,000 People
Grace Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, is holding its eighth annual Feeding the 5,000 Thanksgiving meal event at three locations this year.
Senior Pastor Bobby Lewis said the biggest major adjustment is instead of one location, the church is doing three locations, with the events happening at the same time at the church Carnes location in Knoxville, at its Oak Ridge campus and at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Irving Street downtown.
Lewis said the event began in the fall of 2019, planning takes a year, with work alongside Food City in the months before the event, and 10,000 to 15,000 people could eat from the food that has been stockpiled and will be packed.
The church also will hold random drawings for 500 dollar food and fuel vouchers for needy families.
Any food left over after the event will go to local food pantries.
