Hudson's will once again host their annual community Thanksgiving dinner from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 25. The free dinner has become a bit of a Hilton Head tradition over the past 11 years. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come enjoy a plate of turkey and the trimmings.
The meal is free, but donations are accepted for the Deep Well Project. The folks at Hudson's prepare the meal, and volunteers from St. Andrew By-The-Sea United Methodist Church serves as waiters and waitresses to the hundreds who come by.
