If you or someone you care about may not have a Thanksgiving Dinner this year, we encourage you to explore the options below. The information we received was divided into two categories: Thanksgiving Dinners and Thanksgiving Baskets. For the dinners you show up the day of Thanksgiving to be fed. For the baskets, you will need to apply ahead of time/be interviewed to receive the food.

PLEASE NOTE: While these centers provide food, we have not received information about whether or not they are LGBT affirming.
