Downtown Brownsville restaurant celebrates Thanksgiving

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — One restaurant feeds the community a Thanksgiving meal.

Brownsville Family Restaurant served hundreds of meals to the community Wednesday.

Community members lined up for a taste of mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, ham and many other Thanksgiving classics.

Some enjoyed their meals in house, while many ordered to-go plates.

Owner Carolyn Reed says serving these meals means a lot to her.

“Thanksgiving is a special time for me, and people seem like they’re so happy when they can come by and get a free meal,” Reed said. “So, that’s what we enjoy doing.”

Reed says her restaurant in Brownsville has served the Thanksgiving meals for at least 13 years.
