FreeWishes and the Making Wishes Matter Foundation are looking to make this year's series of events the biggest yet, with a goal of impacting the lives of hundreds of senior citizens and youth in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. The third annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner takes place on November 21st and the Christmas Extravaganza and Community Coat Drive will take place on December 20th for underprivileged Atlanta children and families.
