An 'American Lunch'

Meet our food truck, 'American Lunch.'

American Lunch began as a school project for our owner, Charles Morgan's son, Chatham, a student at the University of Alabama. Morgan saw a need to make a mobile soup kitchen that could travel to where the needy gathered, places like shelters and high traffic areas. The truck has served meals in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and now Athens, with plans to follow a new store opening in Tennessee. The truck sets up at various locations such as libraries and parks, multiple days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

American Lunch serves delicious, hearty food from beans, rice, and garlic bread to home made chicken noodle soup. The truck has one simple goal: to completely run out of food. Volunteers who work the truck love meeting all of the truck's visitors and more importantly gain satisfaction from seeing the looks on people's faces after enjoying a hot, filling meal.

We believe there is nothing better than good food and goodwill!

A New Year, Another Opportunity to Give Back!

One of the Harbor Docks family’s favorite quotes is “it is better to give than to receive.”

Reflecting on our past year we found this to be true once again. As we think about our favorite moments in 2013, our annual free Thanksgiving Day Dinner was continuously on the top of our lists.

With the support of the Destin community, over 200 volunteers and our tirelessly hardworking staff we were able to feed 1,475 people a free Thanksgiving dinner. Proceeds from the day broke the most successful Thanksgiving of the 19 we have hosted to date raising $20,565 for the Okaloosa Habitat for Humanity and Destin Harvest.

We started this event as a small gathering for people in need nineteen years ago and it has now grown into an event hosting thousands coming from a range of economic backgrounds.

This is a tradition we are proud to continue and we look forward to striving to give back in 2014 and make more of an impact on our community than ever before.

Join us in our challenge and give back. Remember it is better to give that to receive! Happy 2014!
