Thousands of hungry and homeless people came in from the chilly weather to celebrate Christmas Day at Atlanta’s Turner Field, home of the Braves baseball team and the venue for one of the largest public holiday meals in the nation.

About 18,000 people had a meal at the annual event, which was put on by Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless, a humanitarian group named after the late civil rights leader Hosea Williams. Donations and corporate sponsors covered the $60,000 cost.
