In pictures: Feeding the community under the bridge on Christmas Day

During the holiday season, Shonta Bradley gathers the volunteers and resources to feed the community.

At Thanksgiving this year, the volunteers fed hundreds of people at T.W. Josey High School. Read more here.

And at Christmas, she gathered “under the bridge” at Calhoun Expressway with more volunteers to take the food to those who needed a holiday meal for the 15th annual “Reaching our Community” event.

“After we left the bridge, they got in their trucks and took food and toys on the streets to the community,” wrote volunteer Robyn Wittenberg Dudley in an email.
