State Representative Michelle Salzman and Jennifer Harrison, in partnership with Feeding the Gulf Coast and a dedicated coalition of community organizations, will host a large-scale Thanksgiving Food Distribution event on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Marcus Pointe Baptist Church. Beginning at 7:30 a.m. and continuing while supplies last, the drive-through event will distribute 30,000 pounds of food to local families in need. Vehicles may begin lining up at 6 a.m.

A minimum of 400 families will be served, while supplies last. Each participating household will receive two boxes: one containing a week's worth of food essentials and another with everything needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. Additionally, baby food, diapers, and wipes will be available in limited quantities for families in need.

For volunteer and event information, please contact Jennifer Harrison at 850-324-2744. For media inquiries, please contact Representative Michelle Salzman at 850-207-5024.
