Thanksgiving Feast · Serving Our Neighbors Since 1979
Thank You
Every Thanksgiving Eve, our neighbors sit down to a warm meal, choose new clothes for the winter ahead, and find help with housing and health care. None of it happens without you. To everyone who gave, cooked, served, sorted, delivered and prayed: thank you.
You honor us by coming. The Feast is, first of all, a meal we share with you.

Help Beyond the Meal
Care That Lasts Past Thanksgiving
Health and social service professionals join us at the Feast so our guests leave with more than a meal: medical care, referrals, and connections to housing, health and food resources.
