First Baptist Church on New Street serves hot holiday meals to people in need

Meals were served to the homeless, people living in poverty, senior citizens and those alone and unable to afford a holiday meal.

First Baptist Church on New Street is getting in the holiday spirit by giving back.

On Saturday, they handed out hot meals, and clothes to people in need around Macon.

Volunteers of all ages came out to serve turkey, dressing, green beans, collards, rice and lots of yummy desserts.

Altogether, they served about 200 meals. Volunteers prepared bags of toiletries, as well as clothing. People that stopped by, often times don't know where their next meal will come from.

One woman says enjoying each others company is her favorite part.

"It makes everybody feel good who don't have family to be joined so when we got here it's just like we was all in the family," said Julia Washington.
