Good food. A little company. A warm welcome.
Whether you’re having a difficult time, living on a low income, without a home, or simply spending the day alone, you’re welcome at our table. The dinner is non-religious and open to people of every faith and none.
There’s a place for you here.
A community dinner takes a whole community. Here’s how you can be part of it.

Make a donation
Cooked turkeys, desserts, or funds. Your generosity helps put dinner on the table.
A special way to help
Your kitchen can help feed a community.
Each year, neighbours donate cooked turkeys to help make the dinner possible. Our kitchen can’t cook them all, so this is one of the most useful ways to help. Get in touch to arrange a donation with the team.
About donating a turkeyAt the heart of it
Many hands. One shared table.
What began in 1988 as a group of people making a free dinner has become an annual community tradition. Volunteers give their time; neighbours and local organizations contribute food, funds, and space. Together, we typically serve over 1000 meals.
