“Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.” - James Brown
Empowering hope with a heart of gold, Mr. Brown never lost sight of his humble beginnings. This spot marks the place where his affinity for our community became a traditional event every Thanksgiving. The James Brown Turkey Giveaway is a staple of love that continues to feed those in need to this day. Soul starts here.
Minnesota Fatz—radio personality and one-time member of James Brown’s team—spotlights Brown’s devotion to kids and families, a legacy still celebrated here each year.
