ATLANTA - Organizers say thousands showed up for the hot meals served at Turner Field Thursday at one of the Southeast&#39;s largest Thanksgiving events for the needy. <br> <br> An estimated 20,000 people attended Atlanta&#39;s Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless event. But, it&#39;s organizer -- Elisabeth Omilami -- says corporate donations are down 40 percent. <br> <br> Omilami said, ``We&#39;re serving not just the homeless but also the working poor.&#39;&#39; She is the daughter of the late Reverend Hosea Williams who founded the event. <br> <br> This year&#39;s sluggish economy has brought a tighter Thanksgiving to Georgia. Officials say more people -- particularly those who have suffered layoffs and job cuts -- are in need of services from community groups while the groups are having a harder time receiving donations from corporate sponsors that also have to undergo belt tightening.
