The beloved Hilton Head Island tradition returned this year as Hudson’s Seafood House on the Docks hosted its annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Locals and visitors gathered by the waterfront to share a festive meal and celebrate the spirit of giving.
Volunteers and staff prepared a traditional Thanksgiving spread featuring turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing, and desserts. The event, known for its welcoming atmosphere, offered a free meal to anyone in the community who wished to join. Donations collected during the feast went to support local charities and food assistance programs.
Families, friends, and visitors lined up early, eager to enjoy both the food and the warm sense of togetherness. Organizers emphasized that the event is about more than the meal—it’s about belonging. As one volunteer explained:
"It’s just a blast seeing everyone come together, sharing gratitude and joy."
The celebration has become a Hilton Head staple, symbolizing unity and the island’s caring nature. Each year, the dinner grows as new guests and volunteers take part, strengthening community bonds across generations.
