RACINE — Racine County resident Raymond Ellison spent his Saturday at King's Kitchen & Cocktails with owner Dontay White.
Together, the two helped serve more than 150 free Thanksgiving meals to community members who needed it.
"We know that many people in our community are hurting right now. Some have lost loved ones, and others don’t have family to celebrate Thanksgiving with. We want them to know they’re not forgotten," Ellison said.
"By coming together, we can offer not just food, but comfort, connection and hope.
This partnership is about more than giving out meals—it’s about lifting spirits, loving our neighbors and letting people know that they belong. That’s what Thanksgiving is truly about.”
White says he wants to make sure that every family in the Racine community feels seen, supported and cared for over the holidays.
"I’m truly thankful to be in a position to give back, and I appreciate all the love and support this community has shown me," White explained.
Racine County Supervisor Valena Coleman also recognized the duo's efforts, calling the event "a truly heartwarming act of service."
"Their generosity reached families facing financial hardship, individuals grieving the loss of loved ones, and those who had no one to celebrate with this year," Coleman said.
"What they provided was more than a meal—they provided comfort, connection, and a reminder that our community looks out for one another."
