Redstone Federal Credit Union distributes 750 Thanksgiving meals in Huntsville, Alabama; about 400 cars were already in line at 5 a.m.
Redstone Federal Credit Union distributed 750 frozen Thanksgiving dinners to North Alabama families in Huntsville, Alabama, on Saturday, November 14, to mark its 75th anniversary. The drive-thru pantry at the credit union's Wynn Drive location was scheduled to open at 9 a.m., but at 5 a.m. around 400 cars were already waiting in line.
Fifty employees began distributing meals around 7:30 a.m., and the final meal was distributed around 9:30 a.m. Each dinner included a turkey and traditional sides such as gravy mix, macaroni and cheese, green beans, corn, stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, pumpkin pie filling and pie crust, and each dinner feeds 8 to 10 people.
The credit union partnered with One Generation Away, a nonprofit serving families experiencing food insecurity, on the drive-thru pantry. The pantry was the grand finale of the credit union's Acts of Brightness campaign, which gave back to the community throughout 2026 in celebration of the 75th anniversary. The credit union spent about $215,000 on Acts of Brightness this year, including surprising community members by paying for their groceries, gas, utilities and back-to-school shopping.
Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year. Information published before the event said the meal boxes were available while supplies lasted, with a limit of one per vehicle and no registration required.
