Community News: Thanksgiving at Harbor Docks for Habitat
Tue, Nov 8th, 2011 by Jordan Staggs
Harbor Docks is turning in their famous seafood menu for turkey dinner, a 17 year tradition with Habitat for Humanity. Friends and family, locals and tourist gather at the restaurant on November 24, Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. till 7 p.m. for an unforgettable event. Harbor Docks is located at 538 Highway 98 East in Destin.
Donations may be made to Habitat for Humanity Okaloosa County as a thank you and to assist them with their work in the local neighborhoods. Last year, the annual Thanksgiving event raised just under $18,000 with 100 percent of donations going directly to local needs.
Guests will enjoy a free delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings compliments of Harbor Docks owner Charles Morgan. Morgan’s connection with Habitat Okaloosa at this event is to assist in the mission of eliminating substandard living conditions locally. Morgan finds this time of year to be an occasion to show gratitude within the community by preparing a tasty dinner that will leave guests ready to relax and enjoy their holiday. Morgan covers the entire cost and partners with Habitat to raise awareness for the non-profit.
Harbor Docks and Habitat will continue to provide sit down service with plated food to avoid lines and make the day more enjoyable to spend with family and friends. A cash bar will be available.
Habitat’s contribution for the day is more than 200 volunteers to cover every position in the restaurant. Harbor Docks employees will be on-site to assist and guide the crews on how to carry out tasks. Habitat t-shirts will be available for sale to those in attendance to directly benefit Habitat Okaloosa and remember their partnership with Habitat.
We encourage everyone to partake in this year’s Thanksgiving and are looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces to come and enjoy a day at Harbor Docks with Habitat.
Habitat for Humanity Okaloosa County is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing in our community. If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please email volunteer@habitatfwb.org for details on available times.
