MYRTLE BEACH, SC – (December 22, 2010) – Chef Peter Gennaro and his crew are busy at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort as they prepare to roast 700 turkeys and complete fixings for the Feed A Family program. The program, organized by volunteer Abe Safa, provides complete holiday dinners to local families that are delivered on Christmas Eve.

Safa and his volunteer team have relied on Gennaro and the Hilton crew to prepare the turkey dinners for the past three years. In addition to turkeys, the holiday meals are accompanied by three side dishes, cranberry sauce and homemade pie.

“It’s one of the most meaningful programs we do,” says Gennaro. “We know our work will directly impact 700 families this holiday season.”
