Holiday Giving: How to Help the Hungry in Pasadena

While some of us are planning extravagant holiday meals there are many people wondering where their next meal will come from.

Union Station Homeless Services in Pasadena will be holding a Christmas dinner at the Station this year to help the needy in the community and you can help make it happen.

This year’s event will be slightly different from previous years. In order to create a more intimate setting for a traditional holiday meal with holiday music and special activities, Union Station’s Christmas dinner will be held at their Adult Center location at 412 South Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105.

Union Station did not run toy drives this year and Santa will not be distributing toys at this year’s event, the organization notes on its website.

The attached Holiday Wish List shows what Union Station would like for the Christmas meal in terms of food, decorations and serving ware.

Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. at 825 E. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena, 91104.
