A devoted team of chefs and volunteers will prepare “all the fixings” for Thanksgiving breakfast and dinner at three different locations in our area. More than 1,500 meals will be served with love by 100 volunteers throughout the day, our largest holiday outreach of the year.
Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission serves Seattle’s homeless by addressing short-term physical needs and providing long-term solutions that break the cycle of addiction, mental illness, and poverty. We share God’s love by serving those in greatest need.
