another option for River Folk. There is a free Thanksgiving dinner being given in Guerneville at the Vets Hall. This hall is right next to the Sheriffs station in GV. If you are not familiar with GV, just ask anyone there about how to find the Vets Hall.
I am not certain of the hours, but most likely say mid afternoon into the eve??
Twice a month at this same hall, there is a free dinner with gorgeous vegetarian fare, made with such love and care. About 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Every SECOND and LAST Wednesday. The LAST Wed means simply that on those months with FIVE Wednesdays, the dinner happens on the FIFTH such. On other months with only four Wednesdays, it happens on the SECOND and the FORTH.
bon apetite!!!!!!!!!

There was a list in Sundays Press Democrat. In addition to those which people here have already listed, there is one at the Sonoma Community Center and at the Rohnert Park Community Center.
It's a wonderful gesture to do this on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but those are the two days a year that the homeless are pretty well covered. St. Vincent in Santa Rosa and Food Not Bombs, and probably others, provide meals all year and could probably use the help as much or more on Dec. 19 or Jan. 7 or whatever.
Best wishes.

The Community Church is having a community dinner 1-5. It's not serving homeless, per se, but it will connect you with the community.
Best wishes to you.
