It’s been gratifying to see other companies so eager to join in and make this a

and companies get involved and make a difference in our community.”
Event History:
Two years ago, Anthony Hamilton, Jobsite Ambassador with
Renewal Design-Build, organized an event to feed 500 people in Atlanta. He
collected donations from employees and clients. When he started to organize the
event again this year, he mentioned it to Mike Hufler, a partner with Jim ‘N
Nick’s Bar-B-Q. Hufler got excited and reached out to Jeremy Chambers, owner of
the Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q in Atlanta, and Jonathan
Fox, owner of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, who both readily agreed to help.
Here is a link to an 11 Alive feature about Anthony Hamilton
and the 2014 event he coordinated: http://www.11alive.com/news/local/southwest-atlanta/good-samaritan-provides-hundreds-with-hot-meals/253273064
Hamilton created the family tradition of feeding the homeless the day
before Thanksgiving years ago. “My inspiration for the event came from memories
of my own childhood and knowing what it was like to be hungry and in need,”
said Hamilton. “I was helped by many good people along the way, and I wanted to
instill the value of caring for others in my two sons. You never know when you
may be on the other end and need a helping hand.”
ABOUT Fox Bros. BAR-B-Q:
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is an
award-winning barbecue restaurant located just south of Little Five Points in
Atlanta. They are known for their unique Southern-style barbecue with a Texas
flair. The Fox brothers developed a sauce that mixes the flavors of Texas with
the heat of the South. It's a tomato-based sauce with a hefty splash of vinegar
and a southern sweetness, with a subtle blast of Texas heat. We call it
"Sweet with Heat.” Today Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q has become an Atlanta staple,
with favorites like the renowned Beef Brisket and the Smoked Wing Basket. Fox
Bros. Bar-B-Q has been featured on Good Day Atlanta, CBS Better Mornings, The
Weather Channel, TLC and Fox News. For more information and reservations please
