If you have a little to spare, the Greer Soup Kitchen could use it. Donations are down, and the kitchen plans to serve Thanksgiving dinner to more than 100 low-income and homeless neighbors. Executive Director Martha Bennett said she knows families are strapped for funds, WSPA reports, but the kitchen would gratefully accept any donation.
