NSBNEWS.net video by Sera Frederick and photos by Henry Frederick. Eric Ignasiak, who served two tours in the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, didn't wait for Thanksgiving to help feed the homeless. A full week before the national holiday, the 29-year-old Edgewater man enlisted the help of his employer, Chases on the Beach and several other restaurants, as well as a cavalcade of volunteer cooks and servers, including New Smyrna Beach firefighters. Ignasiak's efforts led to the feeding of 500 people at the Brannon Center. He even got a mop and led the clean-up afterwards.
