CORPUS CHRISIT, Tx — For the seventh consecutive year, T&A's Auto Services is preparing to serve free hot Thanksgiving meals to the Corpus Christi community. Still, they need local businesses and residents to help make it happen.
The 7th Annual Thanksgiving Day Gathering will take place on Thanksgiving Day at T&A's Auto Services, located at 602 S Staples St. The event has grown significantly since it began in 2018, with last year's gathering serving over 300 plates featuring 35 whole turkeys with all the fixings.
"We have proudly served a FREE hot Thanksgiving meal for the past seven years," said organizers from T&A's Auto Services. "The meal is free for everyone in the Corpus Christi and surrounding areas."
Each Turkey Plate includes turkey with all the traditional sides, a drink, and dessert. Meals are available to-go, and the venue also provides tables and seating for families who want to dine together.
