Audacy Atlanta's V-103 joined with New Birth, Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck in helping families with holiday meals. The Big Tigger Morning Show was onsite helping to hand out the food and also hosted a live remote.

One thousand turkeys were given away along with fresh fruit, vegetables, and other items.

According to New Birth Senior Pastor Jamal Harrison Bryant, "The COVID-19 pandemic was marked not only a global health crisis but also a financial one that has increased food insecurities across the nation and around the world."
Bryant added, “We are thrilled to partner with Witherite Law Group and V-103 to give 1,000 families something to truly be thankful for this holiday season.”

The food giveaway was open to the public. Registration was not required.
