Join us today at 1:00 p.m. for our Friendsgiving Meal, where staff, clients, community members, volunteers, and board members will come together to share food, laughter, and connection. 🥘
Due to meal preparation and festivities, the café will be serving drinks only today.
Thank you to everyone who donated pies and other dishes—your generosity made this event possible! 💛
Our annual Thanksgiving dinner for our clients is Wednesday, November 26th! We have done this every year for over a decade, as it provides clients, staff and community partners sit down together in fellowship and thanksgiving with each other and is a huge benefit for the homeless and at-risk youth that we serve. We have a great need for community donors who can provide food for this event this year. We are looking for donations of Turkey's, traditional thanksgiving sides, vegetables and pies. As of now, there are openings in every category. Drop off for Raw and uncooked items like Turkeys is the day prior (November 25th) and drop off for cooked sides and pies is at noon at the 26th. We will begin the meal at 1 PM. It is open to anyone in our age range of 14-25, whether they are a client or not, as well as any partners, volunteers or individuals who bring a dish to share. We would love to see you for this year's thanksgiving! Please call (907)373-4357 to sign up to bring food today!
