How to Help Others in Pasadena on Thanksgiving

While volunteer registration is closed for Union Station Homeless Service’s Thanksgiving Dinner in Central Park, you can still make a positive difference for the holiday by donating food to the event that serves thousands of Thanksgiving meals to homeless and low-income people.

Union Station is accepting food donations on Thanksgiving at Central Park between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but if possible, you are encouraged to drop off in advance so the kitchen can properly prepare the items to be served.

Food donations prior to Thanksgiving should be delivered to the Adult Center, located at 412 S. Raymond Ave.

Donations on Thanksgiving Day can be delivered using the car drop-off lane on Fair Oaks Blvd next to the park.

Want to know what to bring? The most wanted food items are in a list attached to this post.

Make sure to also fill out and drop off the Safe Food Handling Questionnaire with your food. You can find the form attached to this post.
