The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission will host its annual Thanksgiving Feast, dedicated to serving community members in need and homeless guests, 2-4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27 in the Rescue Mission’s dining hall, 535 E. Yanonali St.

“For many, Thanksgiving is a time of abundance and gratitude, but for those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, it can be a time of deep need,” the Rescue Mission said.

The Rescue Mission’s Thanksgiving Feast provides a traditional holiday meal to those who might otherwise go without. Guests will enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie, all prepared by staff and volunteers.

“This event is a true expression of the Rescue Mission’s commitment to bringing hope and comfort to those in need,” said Rolf Geyling, president of the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission.

“It’s more than just a meal, it’s a chance to remind our homeless guests and struggling neighbors that they are valued and not alone during the holidays,” he said.

The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission provides emergency shelter, addiction recovery programs, and support to those facing difficult challenges.

The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission welcomes community support through turkeys, canned food, and monetary donations in preparation for the Thanksgiving Feast.

Donations may be dropped off, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the 535 E. Yanonali St. office.
