Thanksgiving dinner for homeless?

[marisa108]

I was wondering if I could find such an event to donate my time and/or food...a community center..church? Anyone organizing/hosting something for those less fortunate?

November 21 : Redwood Gospel Mission Thanksgiving

"Every year, the Redwood Gospel Mission puts on a huge banquet on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa. They end up feeding about 4,000 low-income and homeless people. Along with the turkey dinner, the day also includes chapel services, health screening, dental information, counseling, free haircuts and games for kids. Volunteers are needed to pack food boxes, serve meals, wash dishes, paint faces, play games, clean up and more. Call (707) 578-1830."

On Thursday from 1-5 there will be a no cost community thanksgiving at the Church on Gravenstein Highway accross from O Reilly and Associates. The fresh turkeys will be barbque'd along with real mash potatoes etc. Everyone is welcomed.

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.
