Serving With Purpose: Zaire Leads a Heartfelt Thanksgiving Celebration for Indy Youth

Every year, the holiday season reminds us of the power of service, gratitude, and community. This year, Indianapolis felt that spirit in full force as Zaire and his team hosted their 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Dinner at BGC Indy—a tradition rooted in love, leadership, and a commitment to uplifting the next generation.

What began as a simple idea has grown into a meaningful mission: feed kids, create joy, and show families that they are seen, supported, and valued. This year, more than 200 kids were served—smiles shared, stories exchanged, and memories created that will last far beyond the holiday season.

A Celebration of Service & Brotherhood

For Zaire, hosting this event isn’t just about food—it’s about continuing a legacy of service and being a light for the city. This year was especially meaningful as he was able to celebrate Founder’s Day in the same spirit he leads his life: helping others. Surrounded by friends, family, and partners, he poured into the community with a grateful heart.

Fueling the Mission: A Community Effort

The event came to life thanks to powerful partnerships and genuine dedication:

• BGC Indy (@bgc_indy) opened their doors and hearts to welcome families from across the city.

• Kountry Kitchen (@kountrykitchenindy) provided food that warmed not only stomachs but spirits—fueling the night with the comfort only good home-cooked meals can bring.

• And the overall mission—#Tackle44Hunger—continues to motivate people across Indy to show up and give back.

Together, they created an environment of love, nourishment, and belonging.

Why This Work Matters

Events like this do more than feed families—they build confidence, create community, and remind kids that they matter. The laughter, full plates, dancing, and shared moments showed exactly why Zaire continues to serve year after year.

When one person decides to be a blessing, it inspires a ripple effect. And on this night, the ripple was strong.

Looking Ahead

As the holiday season continues, Zaire remains committed to uplifting Indy and being a consistent source of joy and service. The mission doesn’t end after Thanksgiving—this is a year-round responsibility, and he’s dedicated to expanding the impact even further.ty Co, and the beautiful city of Gary for showing what true holiday spirit looks like — generosity, unity, and love in action.
