Thanksgiving 2024

We’ll be back again this year at the West Los Angeles Civic Center on Thanksgiving Day – November 28. And there are many ways you can help us prepare, starting right now! From collecting food items or doing a clothing drive, to spreading the word to guests or supporters. We are completely volunteer-driven, and ALL are welcomed to be a part of this grand celebration!

How to Help

Cook a Turkey

It’s not Thanksgiving without turkey! And there are no turkeys if volunteers don’t cook and bring them.

Donate Goods

We need food items for the meal and for the Mercado (store). All of the items we provide come from you!

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, companionship, and more – 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.
