Founder, Minister Debbie Spinner

Minister Debi Spinner had passions for feeding the hungry, fellowship with people of every race, culture, and denomination. For 20 years she combined these passions into what we now know as the Free Annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner Event being hosted again this year by volunteers in her memory.

“Giving is not a one-person show. It’s the community coming together to make things happen.” Minister Debi Spinner, Page News & Courier January 7, 2010.

Although she did not have many worldly possessions, Debi strived to always serve her community through her ministry.
