Cedartown residents ate well thanks to Glad Tidings Church continuing the tradition of giving out free Thanksgiving meals.
The several hours of work and preparation by church members resulted in the giveaway of over 150 meals to local families, and the group has similar plans for next year.
“We’ve been doing this for decades,” church member Sarah Mccomb said .“It started with Bishop Henderson who named it the Lord’s Kitchen because anyone and everyone was wel- come to participate. Our current pastor Tony Davis is working to keep the vision going.”
Several Tiding attendees were present in the kitchen preparing enough turkey, dressing, cranberry, and other festive foods for families to eat during the Nov. 22 lunch.
Child and adult sized portions were prepared i nto plates, and t he church nearly gave away the entire supply before the afternoon event wrapped up.
“We like to make sure everyone gets a meal f i rst,” Mccomb said. “Once everyone has had one we start distributing them to the community, so don’t be upset if you want 6 or 7 plates and we can’t do that until everyone has had some.”
Glad Tidings has been in the business of giving away free food for decades, and the group is always looking for more members and volunteers to help out every year.

“Volunteers and members are always welcome,” Mccomb reassured.
