It's what this holiday is for, being thankful.

"Really nice to see so many friends, and the work that it takes to put this on, this is amazing," says Bo.

Volunteers are everywhere, but for one man, it's all he's ever known.

"Since I was in third grade I've been coming here, doing this.," explains Chase Fishback.

It began as something his father introduced and now Chase is introducing it to his girlfriend.

"I more than anything wanted to make sure that no one goes hungry on this day," says girlfriend Lindsey Meyer. "It's a day that's meant to be spent with a happy belly. "

For Chase, it's his annual chance to give back.

"I get to be a servant leader and just help out and I love it," he says.

The feast welcomed everyone in the community.

"People from all walks of life," explains Chase. "Some less fortunate people come in, people who have everything in the world come in."

At the end of the day, for all people, today is about one thing.

"Getting to be with friends, it's just really, that's what it's all about: family," says Bo.
