LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Lynchburg community came together to feed their neighbors on Thanksgiving.
More than 50 volunteers, church members and students came together to cook and serve meals to people in need.
It was all part of the ‘They Eat, We Eat’ event.
Organizer William Richards Sr. says he’s grateful for everyone who showed up and he woke up Friday morning with a smile on his face.
“This event showed that we have the potential to touch other people’s lives and work interchangeably as long we put out what we’re trying to do. It’s going to draw that positive energy and people will come,” said Richards Sr.
He says he’d like to organize another meal next month for Christmas and is looking for ideas and volunteers.
