The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is gearing up for its annual Thanksgiving Feast, set to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 27. This event is dedicated to serving community members in need and homeless guests, providing them with a traditional holiday meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. The mission’s president, Rolf Geyling, emphasized that this event is more than just a meal, as it serves as a reminder to homeless guests and struggling neighbors that they are valued and not alone during the holidays.
The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is known for providing emergency shelter, addiction recovery programs, and support to those facing difficult challenges. They are seeking community support through donations of turkeys, canned food, and monetary contributions to help prepare for the Thanksgiving Feast. Donations can be dropped off at the Rescue Mission’s office on Yanonali Street during regular business hours.
This event highlights the mission’s commitment to bringing hope and comfort to those in need, particularly during the holiday season. The Thanksgiving Feast is a way for the community to come together and support those facing homelessness and food insecurity, ensuring that everyone has a warm meal and a sense of belonging during this time of year.
