Good morning, Dothan.

David Hanks, the food bank CEO, reflected on his 30-year career serving neighbors before Thanksgiving and said he was grateful for giving people the fuel to pursue life, liberty, and happiness (marking a long commitment to local service).

Ronnie Baine and the Men on Missions ministry built between 45 and 50 wheelchair ramps and repaired porches, steps and handrails for residents in Geneva, Holmes, Houston—and Covington counties using volunteers' own time and money.

Ronnie Baine led Men on Missions Ministry—a volunteer group that helped people with jobs big and small, including feeding families ahead of Thanksgiving in the Wiregrass.

Meteorologist Zack Webster reviewed the highs and lows from the last 10 Thanksgivings as winter cold returns for the holidays + his review shows some days hit record lows while others had unexpected warmth.

Two Wiregrass football programs are facing coaching changes as Pike County's Mark Hurt retired after more than 30 years of coaching and Houston County's Tanner Harris stepped down after a season with one win and nine losses to take a job at Eustis High School near Orlando—where new athletic facilities are planned. Hurt will remain a teacher until the end of the school year while Harris looks forward to working with a young group of players.
