Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, Big Tom’s Community Table—a 501(c)(3) non‑profit based at Big Tom’s Backyard Grill & Bar—prepares thousands of home‑cooked meals for anyone in Bradley County who needs one. We feed families facing food insecurity, first responders on duty and neighbors who can’t leave home, even busing guests from homeless camps.
Upcoming Event:
Join us Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Flagstone Golf Club for our “Swing. Succeed. Give Back!” golf tournament. Gather a 4‑person team for a fun scramble ($300 per team) with lunch, contests, raffles and mulligans included. All proceeds support our holiday meals: happeningnext.com.

About
Where Friends Become Family
Tom and Sabrina Anderson opened Big Tom’s Backyard Grill & Bar to be “the gathering place where friends become family” Inspired by their restaurant’s spirit of fellowship, they created Big Tom’s Community Table—a 501(c)(3) non‑profit dedicated to ensuring no neighbor goes hungry during the holidays.
For their consistent support of the community—providing free meals during holidays and crises—Tom and Sabrina were honored by PuroClean as local heroes. Our mission is simple: serve hearty meals and warm smiles to anyone in need each Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Our Impact
Holiday Feasts That Matter
With help from volunteers and donors, we serve thousands of hot meals on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve. We welcome anyone who walks through our doors and deliver plates to those who can’t travel.
Beyond the Table
We feed the 911 center, fire stations, ambulatory centers and provide all the meals for the Salvation Army. We bus homeless camps to the restaurant, distribute coats and blankets and have Mr. & Mrs. Claus hand out gifts and winter gear to children.
Community-Powered
Our work is funded entirely by donations and volunteerism. Recognition from PuroClean and the support of local businesses affirm the impact of your generosity.
