Memphis Nonprofit Spreads Holiday Cheer with Thanksgiving Giveback100
This Saturday, Memphis will be buzzing with excitement as a local nonprofit gears up for its seventh annual Thanksgiving Giveback100. The organization, Beauty Beyond the Scars, is on a mission to help the city’s unhoused population by providing warm meals and essential items. With the catchy theme “Mission is Possible”, the event promises a day filled with joy and community support.
Feeding Over 100 Hungry Souls
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Shelby County Juvenile Court’s parking lot, located at 616 Adams Avenue, will transform into a hub of generosity and kindness. Organizers expect to feed more than 100 people, offering a delicious spread through a food truck on-site. Along with hot meals, there will be steaming coffee and comforting hot chocolate to warm up those chilly November vibes.
More Than Just a Meal
But that’s not all! Attendees will also receive “blessing bags”, filled with everyday essentials that can make a world of difference. Think toiletries, warm hats, gloves, cozy throw blankets, and even sleeping bags. This thoughtful gesture is aimed at providing not just food, but also comfort and care during a season when help is especially crucial.
The Heart of Downtown Memphis
Why downtown? According to the organizers, this bustling area houses the largest population of homeless individuals in Memphis. “[It’s important to us to be impactful](#) with every event that we present,” the team shared in a heartfelt statement. “We realize the need here and want to make a real difference.”
A Day Just for Them
This year’s event isn’t just about the food or the essentials. It’s also about creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Organizers are pulling out all the stops to ensure that everyone feels special. In addition to the meals and charity bags, the event will feature music, which is sure to uplift spirits and bring people together. There will also be car clubs and sororities participating, all coming together to show love and support to those in need.
“We want to make it a special day just for the beautiful souls,” they expressed. It’s these small touches that can mean so much, especially for individuals facing hardships. The focus is on community and togetherness—making sure the day is about more than just an exchange of goods.
