Pridgen organizes Feed the Homeless

It was a day of giving back for former Hoggard girls’ basketball coach, Columbus Pridgen.

With the help of his new employer, Powell Bail Bonding, Pridgen organized a Feed the Homeless event in downtown Wilmington on Saturday.

Fried chicken, baked beans, sweet tea and other good foods were served to the homeless, while Mount Zion Methodist Church performed.

“We at Powell Bail Bonding wanted to give something back to the community for the many years of service they gave us, so we’re having a feed the homeless today,” Pridgen said.

This was the first ever Feed the Homeless event.
