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 – Green Team volunteers will help make Gratefull as eco-friendly as possible! Volunteers will be stationed at sets of trash, recycling, and compost bins, guiding guests on what items belong in each bin. Signage will be provided to assist. When a bin becomes full, volunteers will take the bag to the designated drop location (map provided) and replace it with a new bag.
Volunteers must be able to lift 40+ lbs. Shifts can rotate so that everyone has a chance to get food 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.
