CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Another organization full of thanks and turkey as they support the community -- the Corpus Christi NAACP.
Saturday was their annual Thanksgiving Community Lunch where they provided free Thanksgiving meals to members of the organization, seniors, and low-income families in our area.
Part of the activist group's mission is to lift up the black community, so their presence is especially felt by those needing love and support during the holidays.
NAACP president, Jeremy Coleman echoed this sentiment, saying the food is great, but to see people coming through the door to have a meal together as one is what is most important to him.
"So, the majority of what individuals hear about the NAACP is mainly our fight against human rights for civil rights and discrimination, but the other side of that is doing things just like this. We also want to share and be partakers in our community where we stay."
Coleman said the organization has discussed putting together a Christmas dinner just like Saturday's event to continue giving back and bringing the community together.
