Thanksgiving at the Tacoma Dome

We are calling on the community to come together in an extraordinary act of compassion and care. With over 100,000 Pierce County residents recently losing government food assistance, the need for meals and support has never been greater.

To meet this growing challenge, we are hosting a massive community Thanksgiving dinner at the Tacoma Dome, aiming to serve more than 1,000 individuals and families who are struggling during this season of gratitude.

Many generous community organizations and individuals have already stepped up by donating food and helping cover the costs to feed our hungry neighbors. Their compassion is making a real difference. However, food insecurity and hunger challenges are expected to continue throughout the holiday season, and we need your help to keep meeting this critical need.

This is more than a meal, it’s an opportunity to restore hope and dignity for our neighbors in need. Together, we can make Thanksgiving a day of warmth, community, and gratitude.

We also want to highlight and share our overwhelming gratitude with the Tacoma Dome for offering their space at no cost to make this community meal possible.
