🎄 Home Folks Family Restaurant Launches Holiday Food Box Drive in Soddy-Daisy

Building on the momentum of a successful winter clothes drive, Home Folks Family Restaurant is stepping up its community support this holiday season by organizing a food donation campaign to stock 50 Christmas meal boxes for families in need across the Soddy-Daisy area. The initiative reflects a growing commitment by local restaurants to address food security during the holidays.

📦 What’s Inside Each Box

Home Folks is providing the foundation for each holiday meal box, which includes a rotisserie chicken, a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a cake mix. The restaurant is asking the community to fill the gaps with non-perishable items that round out a complete Christmas dinner. ✨

🤝 How to Help

Donations are being collected now at the restaurant’s lobby. The community checklist calls for:

• 150 cans of corn
• 150 cans of green beans
• 50 boxes of Rice-A-Roni chicken
• 50 boxes of Stove Top turkey stuffing

Donors can bring individual items or contribute multiple boxes of the needed non-perishables. Every donation directly supports a family’s holiday table. 🎁

🗓️ Distribution Day: December 20th

On December 20th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Home Folks will distribute the 50 completed food boxes on a first-come, first-served basis. Families interested in receiving a box should arrive during that window at the restaurant. 🕐

The first-come, first-served model mirrors the restaurant’s earlier winter clothes drive, which generated strong community participation. This approach ensures that families who can make it to the restaurant during the distribution window receive immediate support without requiring pre-registration or paperwork.

💪 Community Momentum

Home Folks emphasized in its announcement that the success of the winter clothes drive inspired confidence to expand community outreach efforts. The restaurant’s willingness to supply the perishable items-rotisserie chicken, bread, and milk-demonstrates a significant investment in making sure each box feels like a real holiday meal, not just a collection of shelf-stable goods. 🍗

For residents in the Soddy-Daisy area looking to make a tangible difference this holiday season, dropping off a few cans or boxes at Home Folks is a straightforward way to help ensure 50 families sit down to a Christmas dinner together.
