The 37th Annual Big Thursday benefiting Greer Community Ministries (GCM) is Nov. 3 at Fairview Baptist Church, 8 a.m.

The event is 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 1300 Locust Hill Road.

The live auction, 7-9 p.m. with auctioneer Jerry Bruce, features crafts, a barbecue lunch, a hot dog supper, and a silent auction. Ann Helton and Nancy Welch will have apple pies and angel biscuits, respectively, which will be sold the day of the event.

“Big Thursday brings out what is best about our community because everyone involved uses their talents and gifts to give back,” Cindy Simpler, GCM executive director, said. “Plan to shop for Christmas gifts and fill your freezer with casseroles. Join us for lunch and dinner. Every dollar you spend is put to work feeding needy people here in the greater Greer area.”

Orders for delivery of the $8 barbecue lunch – sandwich, baked beans, cole slaw, dessert and drink – can be placed by calling the ministry, 877-1937.

The Greer Lions Club hosts the hot dog supper from 5-7 p.m. and the $5 plate includes a hot dog, chili, chips, dessert, and drink.

Families can sponsor a table at the lunch and hotdog supper for $40 to provide two weeks of meals for a Meals on Wheels client.

Donations for both the silent and live auctions are being accepted. Crafts, baked goods, frozen casseroles and canned goods can be donated Monday through Wednesday, Oct. 31- Nov. 2, at the Fairview Baptist gym from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
