Cherokee Thanksgiving Needs Your Help For nearly 30 years, Cherokee Thanksgiving has served meals to families and public safety/emergency workers of Cherokee and Pickens counties at Canton First United Methodist Church. In 2020, the venue was changed to Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q of Canton, which offered its restaurant as a staging area, with restaurant staff volunteering to prepare the food. Last year, 2,600 meals were served — 600 more than ever before. Williamson Bros. is graciously hosting again in 2021.This year’s event is dedicated in memory of Don Stevens, cofounder of Cherokee Thanksgiving, who sadly passed away from COVID-19. Another record year is anticipated, in the number of meals to be served and in the cost of preparation. Estimated funding needed to cover expenses is $12,000.
