Join us in downtown Aiken, South Carolina for the
5th annual One Table Event - 11/26/2009

Mark your calendar.

A full, traditional Thanksgiving feast will be served in The Alley, behind City Hall, between 11 AM and 2 PM. Turkey (Baked, grilled, smoked, and fried), dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, rice & gravy, even cranberry sauce! And all the while, you can enjoy the live music provided by local church groups and others. AND IT'S ALL FREE TO THE PUBLIC!

Aiken's Community Thanksgiving Dinner

was first held Thanksgiving Day, 2005.

A unique event made possible by local churches, anonymous sponsors, and a small army of dedicated volunteers, One Table is NOT a "hand-out", but more of a "hand-shake". It has grown in size each year. This year, our dedicated chefs will prepare 150 turkeys, cooking through the night and into the early hours of Thanksgiving Day. We anticipate a crowd of 2000 or more persons will share in the event.
We believe this gathering is what Thanksgiving should be; Join us this year and see if you agree.

You can help make One Table happen...

Although our turkeys have already been generously provided this year, we will be accepting monetary donations to cover additional needs. All donations are tax deductable and should be made through Christ Central Missions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE!

If you wish to volunteer time or services, please contact Kathryn Wade, Volunteer Coordinator at robertwade@gforcecable.com, or by telephone at 803-295-8585.

All 150 turkeys are in the cooler thawing, the charcoal is waiting, and the pans (most of them) have been delivered! We have been promised a canopy for the performers by yet another gracious anonymous donor. All that remains it the event itself! Yeah God!
