GREENVILLE, N.C. - ECU Athletics is proud to partner with Harris Teeter to provide a Thanksgiving meal to deserving families this holiday season.Â

"We are very pleased to partner with IMG, ECU Athletics and the Food Bank to provide a Thanksgiving meal to families throughout the area who might not otherwise be able to enjoy one," Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter, said. "We'll be pulling for the Pirate offense to have a big game Saturday."
Meals will be donated to the Food Bank the week of Thanksgiving, and each will contain enough food to feed a family of four. These meals will help complete the holiday for families who may otherwise go without a traditional Thanksgiving fare.
