Ringgold’s Third Year of Giving: Turkey and Teamwork Brings Thanksgiving Cheer

Nov 07, 2024

For many of us, planning a Thanksgiving meal is as simple as a trip to the grocery store, but for some families, securing a holiday meal is a genuine challenge. Recognizing this, our team in Ringgold, GA, has made it a yearly mission to bring Thanksgiving cheer to those in need.

Our incredible team partnered for the third year in a row with the “Feeding the Future” event at Roaches Cove Baptist Church. Together, they loaded frozen turkeys and assembled care packages to share the warmth and joy of the season with local families who may have otherwise gone without.

A heartfelt shoutout goes to Kevin Clark and his wife, who have been champions of this cause. When asked about what doing this for the third year in a row meant to him Kevin said, “This marks the third year we’ve provided turkeys for RC Baptist Church—over 300 turkeys given away so far!

A little backstory: a few years ago, there was an outbreak of bird flu, which made it difficult to find turkeys. My pastor mentioned in church how challenging it was to secure turkeys for families in need that Thanksgiving. Hearing that, I knew I had to step in. I reached out to CJ with the idea, and three years later, here we are.

I believe it’s everyone’s responsibility to lend a hand to neighbors in need, and it’s incredible to work for a company that shares those same values.”

Their dedication is inspiring—they personally delivered each turkey and package, ensuring that every family left with a sense of support and a bit of extra holiday warmth. Their efforts helped make the day a true success, showing just how much kindness and community can mean to people during the holidays.

A special thanks to Dustin Wulff , who not only joined the team in bringing Thanksgiving cheer but also captured the day’s spirit through a heartfelt video, if you want to check out the video visit our LinkedIn page. When asked what this experience meant to him, he shared, “It’s truly uplifting to be part of something larger than ourselves. Helping those in need is a responsibility we all share, and loading and delivering the turkeys to the church was both rewarding and exciting.

We’re especially grateful for Kevin, who has been part of this effort for three years now. He’s an incredible person who takes time out of his busy life to lend a hand, showing us, all the impact one person can have. Acts of kindness like these remind us of the power we have to make a difference in our communities.”

The video beautifully highlights the efforts of our team and the impact of this event on the community. Watching it, you can see the dedication and care our team puts into every package they hand over, making sure each family receives a little extra holiday cheer.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of this tradition, spreading kindness and helping neighbors feel valued and appreciated. This Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of the importance of giving back, and we hope our small contributions bring comfort and joy to our community.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us!
