Good morning, Myrtle Beach.

For its eighth consecutive year, Sonshine Recovery hosted a Thanksgiving feast in Myrtle Beach to serve hot meals and distribute care items (like clothing and toiletries) to local community members.

Many volunteers with personal ties donated their time to support the event.

Volunteers at the Burgess Community Garden in Murrells Inlet have doubled its size and harvested more than 1,300 pounds of produce this year using square foot gardening.

The fresh food is donated to veterans and local groups such as Help 4 Kids and The Boys and Girls Club—helping feed hundreds of people in need.

Conway small businesses and Downtown Alive will join Small Business Saturday events this weekend to urge shoppers to support local stores with planned sales and giveaways.

Owners expect that festive holiday preparations and community investment will boost business—68 percent of every dollar spent returns to the local economy.

Travelers at Myrtle Beach International Airport reported smooth security checks and minimal delays during one of the busiest holiday travel weeks — Airport spokesperson Ryan Betcher said he expects 9,000 to 10,000 passengers to flow through the airport on the weekends before and after Thanksgiving.

Thousands participated in the 16th annual Turkey Trot at Surfside beach on Thursday morning as NS Promos hosted the event across Grand Strand—organizers reported strong local turnout.
