Free “hat check” to securely store belongings during the event.
Westside Thanksgiving Dinner has been serving the westside since 1982. We prepare a full sit-down Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings, a clothing department with many tons of clothing of all kinds, blankets, hygiene kits, a children's carnival, medical, optical, and dental services, live music, and a resource fair. Everything is free to any and all who come.
What began as a dream in the minds of some college kids at the Vineyard Westside has grown into a westside tradition, bringing together people and organizations of all faiths and creeds: schools, universities, synagogues, churches, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, sports teams, law enforcement, businesses, service clubs, young and old, in the largest event of its kind on the westside. Tens of thousands of volunteers have served over the years, in many cases bridging two and three generations. We've served thousands of people, some poor, many homeless and poor, some far from home; all in need of a family with which to share the giving of thanks for the blessings large and small we enjoy in America.
We know there are now over 45,000 people living on the streets of LA, and many more living in poverty. They need to know there is help for them on Thanksgiving Day. Will you please help us by inviting them to join us.
