Fall Feast at the DECC

DURING the Coat Drive, Smart City joined Spectra personnel in soliciting donations of adult and children’s coats, mittens, and scarves for the Fall Feast event held in the Duke Energy Convention Center on Thanksgiving Day. Fall Feast is a meal and celebration hosted by Give Back Cincinnati and City Gospel Mission event.

Fall Feast is an event focused on community. After guests enjoy a great Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings, they can take advantage of services such as the healthcare clinic. There are free books for all ages, live music, a kid zone (games, crafts, Inflatable play areas, petting zoo and more), and big-screen TVs everywhere to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade and football games. All meals and services are free courtesy of the kindness and generosity of the people and businesses of Cincinnati.

On Thanksgiving Day, there was no shortage of volunteers helping to serve more than 5,000 attendees. The mission behind Fall Feast is to change the community for the better through celebration, connection, and the passion to serve others. This calling has led to the rapid growth of one of the largest Thanksgiving meals in the region. With the support of local businesses, neighbors, and community members, the event has blossomed into a true community celebration that offers more than a meal.

Give Back Cincinnati is the largest young professionals and volunteer organization in Cincinnati and operates with zero paid employees and no office space. They simply ask that volunteers show up prepared to work hard and have a great time doing it.
