- The event has served nearly 35,000 people in the past nine years

The event has taken place for the past nine years, serving nearly 35,000 people. This year, volunteers were set to serve 4,000 free turkey dinners to those in need.
“I mean, it’s everything you know, everybody that’s coming in here doesn’t seem to not have a smile on their face, I love giving back, that’s why I started a charity myself too, just to help out people, and it’s brilliant,” said Gillan.
Santa and Mrs. Claus were among those who visited the Feed the Need event.
Winter weather supplies like jackets, hats and scarves were collected prior to the event, cleaned by DO Summers and distributed at the event.
“You know, when you serve others, it’s very healing, so sometimes the greatest way to heal yourself is to help others and I know just by being around the atmosphere and watching our employees, how happy they are,” said Townhall owner Bobby George. “It’s just great and being able to interact with people who are less fortunate than you, you just become more grateful.”
