The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is honored to host its annual Thanksgiving Feast, dedicated to serving community members in need and homeless guests. This special event will take place on Wednesday, November 27, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at the Rescue Mission, located at 535 E. Yanonali Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93103.
For many, Thanksgiving is a time of abundance and gratitude, but for those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, it can be a time of deep need. The Rescue Mission’s Thanksgiving Feast provides a warm, traditional holiday meal to those who might otherwise go without. Guests will enjoy a complete Thanksgiving menu, including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie—all prepared with care by dedicated staff and volunteers.
“This event is a true expression of the Rescue Mission’s commitment to bringing hope and comfort to those in need,” said Rolf Geyling, President of the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. “It’s more than just a meal—it’s a chance to remind our homeless guests and struggling neighbors that they are valued and not alone during the holidays.”
The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission has been a vital resource for the local community for almost six decades. It provides emergency shelter, addiction recovery programs, and essential support to those facing life’s most difficult challenges. Events like the Thanksgiving Feast embody the mission to serve with compassion and dignity.
Community members can support this event by donating funds or turkeys or helping to spread the word. Every contribution makes a difference in the lives of our guests.
