We need volunteers...

We have many opportunities for you to get involved, even if you cannot be here on Thanksgiving Day. We especially need volunteers on Tuesday and Wednesday, before Thanksgiving! We need your help picking up and delivering items, setting up the facility, soliciting donations, providing haircuts, greeting and serving guests.

We also need food, including turkeys (Thursday Morning-see turkey page for details) and other goods, which may be dropped off Wednesday Night until 9:00 pm.

Also, since it's a Community dinner, come as our guests! We encourage all our volunteers to dine with the rest of our guests, so you can serve in one of the best ways, by being present and helping us build a caring community. Bring a smile to someone's Thanksgiving with your kindness.

Kids can help, too. They must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult. When you call the hotline to volunteer, let us know your children’s ages, so we can find a suitable place for them.

To volunteer call the hotline 310.394.3153.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!
