Daddy Bruce Randolph's Legacy Lives On With Thanksgiving Tradition

DENVER (CBS4) - The Epworth United Methodist Church is continuing Daddy Bruce Randolph's legacy of feeding families in need on Thanksgiving.

Volunteers will be distributing food baskets on Saturday, Nov. 17.

The Feed a Family Thanksgiving tradition started more than 50 years ago when Daddy Bruce Randolph fed people from his restaurant.

In past years, thousands of families have been fed. But, this year they have to scale it back.

"Last year we did 6,500 baskets, but the funding is down this year... so we're only doing 5,000," said Jeff Kanost, a pastor.

In order to feed those families, the church much raise at least $160,000, but they're about $55,000 short.

On top of that, the church also needs 1,000 volunteers to help hand out the meals.
