Give-a-Gobble is a community food-support program presented annually as part of the Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration.
2024's featured organization is Four Corners.
At our spiritually-fulfilling, inspiring, humorous, and music-filled Ecumenical Celebration, we come together as one loving family to collect funds to purchase turkeys and Thanksgiving dinners for our neighbors in need. The Give-A-Gobble program initially grew out of a grassroots effort to help impoverished families in the Cabbagetown neighborhood and the Oakland Food Bank in downtown Atlanta. It has close to three decades since Give-A-Gobble was born, and today, the need for support in many of our communities exists far beyond just that small Cabbagetown neighborhood. Over the years, Give-A-Gobble has provided annual support to multiple organizations during the Thanksgiving season like the Center for Family Resources, Families First, Family Promise, Food2Kids, Genesis Shelter, Helping Hand Foundation, Inner-city Muslim Action Network (IMAN), JF&CS, Jubilee Partners, New American Pathways, Must Ministries, North Fulton Charities, Pianos for Peace, and United Military Care, Inc.

Through prevention, intervention, and restoration we work to provide pathways to a thriving adulthood.
Give-A-Gobble’s ability to help those in need in our community depends directly on your generous donations. This year, more than ever, families and individuals are experiencing greater needs. Any amount you contribute is appreciated, and please know that 100% of your donation goes toward the purchase of turkeys, food staples, and Thanksgiving dinners to those needing hope and a helping hand.
