Veterans Community Thanksgiving

The holidays are a joyous time for our community but as we celebrate the fellowship and good cheer of the season, we must not forget those who face the challenges of homelessness or reduced economic circumstances throughout the year. For more than three decades, the Veterans in Santa Cruz have provided a hot, delicious Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings to hundreds of our friends and neighbors in need. This year, the Veterans for Peace and the Friends of Thanksgiving are preparing to once again host the Veterans Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday, November 28th. We are asking our community to help make this a special event by donating some time or a few of your holiday dollars to support the meal. 

For many in our community, the Veterans Thanksgiving Dinner is an opportunity to not only contribute time and money to the less fortunate, but also a chance to share a meal, a personal story or a life experience about the true meaning of the holidays. All monetary donations, no matter that the size, are most welcome as we come together again as a community of friends and family.

Happy Holidays and thank you from the Veterans for Peace and the Friends of Thanksgiving.
