Atlanta’s Hosea Helps Prepares For A Different Kind Of Thanksgiving Meal During The Pandemic

Local nonprofit Hosea Helps is getting ready for what’s traditionally one of its biggest events of the year: A Thanksgiving meal for people in need. But with the pandemic, this year’s holiday meal will look very different.

Usually, Hosea Helps organizes a big, sit-down Thanksgiving meal at the Georgia World Congress Center. Musicians play. There are free haircuts and health care screenings. People can get hot showers and fresh clothes.

But not this year.
