Union Station Homeless Services (USHS) says it is still in need of community support ahead of its annual Thanksgiving meal service set for Tuesday anf Wednesday, Nov. 25-26, asking for pies and monetary donations to ensure hundreds of unhoused and low?income residents can celebrate the holiday.

The nonprofit, based at 825 E. Orange Grove Blvd., has hosted Pasadena’s largest series of Thanksgiving giveaways and gatherings for decades, serving meals to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or food insecurity.

The nonprofit’s staff report dessert donations remain short, and financial contributions are critical to cover rising food costs.

Founded in 1973, USHS serves 32 cities across the San Gabriel Valley. Its Dinner in the Park Thanksgiving meal is one of its most visible traditions, drawing volunteers and donors from across the San Gabriel Valley.

How to Help
