Feeding The Five Thousand

The food already overflows the lobby of first Baptist in uptown Charlotte, hundreds of boxes of Thanksgiving dinner.

It may be a Bible story, feeding the 5,000, but one Charlotte church is exceeding that reality, unbelievably in a time of economic hardship.

The food already overflows the lobby of first Baptist in uptown Charlotte, hundreds of boxes of Thanksgiving dinner.

These are the crowds fed last year when the church handed out 5,000 meals.

This year they expect to feed 13,000.

Each family gets a box of food filled with ham, rice, sweet potatoes and bread, food for a family of five.

First Baptist in uptown Charlotte will hand out the boxes Tuesday morning the 24th.
