Gratefull GVL returns in 2026 under the leadership of United Way of Greenville County — a celebration of community, connection, and the shared belief that everyone deserves a seat at the table. This free, public Thanksgiving meal brings neighbors, coworkers, families, and strangers together for a moment of gratitude and belonging as Main Street transforms into one long table filled with good food, conversation, and the spirit that defines Greenville County.
All food is generously donated and safely prepared by our local restaurant partners, and any surplus funding helps support the community year-round.
