Legacy Church will hold Love Rome Day for the second year in a row, giving away 100 pounds of food to each family in need as Thanksgiving approaches. Registration is currently open. “Where we are located in Rome — close to downtown — we are always having people come by our church needing help (and) calling us,” Lead Pastor Chase Holsomback said. “I receive at least 40 to 50 calls a month from people needing assistance, and so last year we started doing Love Rome Day. It was our way of giving back to our city and our community and showing the love of Christ and being the church in this time of need.” Love Rome Day will be held Nov. 21, and those interested can register on their website, LegacyRome.com/love-rome-day . The registration helps the church from an organizational standpoint and to know how many people to expect on campus that day, he said. They don’t want to have to turn people away. There is not a set deadline for registration, but it is open while space is available. Once the maximum number of recipients is reached, a waiting list will activate. Even if there is a waiting list,
