19th Annual Grateful Gobbler

Over five thousand people will descend on Coolidge Park to burn off some Thanksgiving pre-meal calories while celebrating a long time Chattanooga Thanksgiving tradition on Thursday, November 22 at the 19^th Annual Grateful Gobbler Walk presented by First Tennessee Bank. The family fun event will begin promptly at 8 am. ….giving everyone an opportunity to be home by 10 am to place the finishing touches on their Thanksgiving meal.

100% of the proceeds of the Walk will The Maclellan Shelter for Families. This family shelter, located onsite at the Community Kitchen on 11th Street in Chattanooga, features 13 units with 64 beds and is the first of its kind in Chattanooga, as it provides a stable environment for an intact family to remain together as they search for permanent housing solutions. Since its opening in December 2014, approximately 600 families, comprising of more than 1,000 men, women, and children, have benefited from the programs including meals, case management, and job training provided by the shelter.
