Our Community Thanksgiving Celebration

For over four decades, we’ve put on a free Thanksgiving Day community celebration! We provide a wonderful sit-down Thanksgiving dinner, a huge selection of clothing to choose from, a “Mercado” (store) where you can shop for perishable and non-perishable items, live music, and companionship – ALL FOR FREE!

Thousands of people join us each year to give thanks, celebrate, and share our blessings with one and all.

What we’ve learned in 40 years:

Be flexible. Need doesn’t go away on its own. There is always a way to help. God always provides.

How to Help

You’re Invited!

  • The Celebration is open to everyone. No reservations are necessary.
  • We bring together an inter-faith collection of groups and individuals in a wonderful celebration of Thanksgiving.
  • We welcome everyone to join us as our guests: students, singles, low-income families, seniors, those who are homeless, and anyone else.
  • Download a flyer with details to hand out to anyone who may desire to join us.
