Join us in downtown Aiken, South Carolina for the
7th annual One Table Event - 11/24/2011
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.

10/4/2011 - Can Drive Announced for 2011
- Due to the overwhelming requests to "give back" to the event, OneTable is sponsoring a canned foods drive for this year. Local missions and food banks have been hit especially hard by the current economy. Donations are completely optional, and drop boxes will be provided at the event. Non-perishable food items only, please.
- Early donations may be dropped at any Aiken Public Safety fire station. Contact Eddie George, techcop50@gmail.com for more information.
