Gratefull 2025; During Event - Line Balloon Holder

Get Connected Icon Happens On Nov 20, 2025
Get Connected Icon 11:00 am- 1:00 pm

Description

Gratefull is a free, city-wide Thanksgiving potluck that takes place at one long table in the middle of MLK Boulevard. The event, formerly known as One Table, was started by Causeway in 2014 because we believe that in order to build a city that is an honest reflection of its residents, everyone should be invited to the table. Gratefull is now an annual event in Chattanooga, and has been replicated in six cities across the southeast.

Line Balloon Holder volunteers will be stationed at the end of the serving line. A large yellow balloon will be attached to your wrist, making it easy for guests to identify the end of the line. Your role is to help direct people toward the table once they reach you. Volunteers will switch halfway through the shift so everyone has the opportunity to grab a meal and a seat at the table.

Parking: There is no on-site parking available for volunteers at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center. Parking information will be provided in our e-mail reminders to volunteers.

Waiver is attached at the bottom of this page. Please print off and bring a signed copy with you if possible. Thank you.
