A Feast of Fellowship and Giving in Downtown Athens

The Pollack Family Foundation is partnering with The Classic Center to present the annual Banquet of Blessings on Sunday, November 22, from 4:30-7:30 pm in The Classic Center’s Grand Hall.

This free community event invites attendees to come together for an evening of fellowship, food, and support. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a warm meal and receive essential items, including clothing, hygiene products, and food packs.

"Banquet of Blessings is a special event that means so much to us because it brings the Athens community together for fellowship, connection, and a warm meal during the Thanksgiving season," said Lindsey Pollack, Co-Founder of The Pollack Family Foundation. "This gathering is our way of reflecting the unconditional love of Jesus and being His hands and feet in the community we call home. We invite you to join us as we share a meal, celebrate hope, and enjoy Thanksgiving together."
