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. During Event – Servers volunteers will help serve food to guests and replenish pans of food from the Bessie Hall as needed. Volunteers will be asked to wear gloves at all times and keep hair pulled back with a fastener. Additional instructions on serving sizes and etiquette will be provided at the event. Each volunteer will be given time to get a plate and enjoy the food at the Gratefull table.
Please note: If you are unable to attend, please unregister so we can ensure all serving spots are filled.
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.
