What began as a small, grassroots effort to help families become self-sufficient, has grown into a longtime neighborhood anchor.<\/p>\n<p>That legacy will be front and center this weekend as more than 400 residents gather for a community celebration on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Heights Center, 15570 Hagie Drive. <\/p>\n<p>The event will feature games, entertainment and plenty of opportunities for neighbors to connect.<\/p>\n<p>And the giving doesn\u2019t end when the celebration does. Each preregistered household will receive a turkey and a Publix gift card to help prepare a Thanksgiving meal. <\/p>\n<p>Organizers say the event offers families a chance to relax, catch up with one another and be grateful for the support to help the neighborhood rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>WGCU is your trusted source for news and information in Southwest Florida.
