Each Thanksgiving and Christmas, we serve 300+ take-out meals to those who need to stretch their budgets, who might live alone and not cook a feast for themselves, or who are perhaps unable to do the heavy lifting of a complex special meal.

We work with local farmers to source ingredients whenever possible. Giving Thanks includes turkey, mashed, gravy, squash, greens, stuffing, a homemade roll, and a slice of our exceptional pumpkin pie. The Holiday Feast includes similar sides but substitutes roast beef for the turkey. Vegetarian entrees are available.

Our community does a phenomenal job making sure all children have a festive holiday season, but we don’t often consider the emotional needs of adults who might not have a support system, finances, or family bringing cheer during the holiday season. This will be our 5th year offering holiday gift bags for adults.

Each bag is hand-sewn from holiday fabric and stuffed with individually-wrapped gifts of practical and fanciful items. The bags are delivered or self-selected by folks here in our meals room.
